ABSTRACT
Scrub typhus is a febrile illness widely endemic in Asia caused by Rickettsiae tsutsugamushi in which humans are accidental hosts. If there is delay in the initiation of the appropriate antimicrobial therapy patient may present with serious complications. We report three cases that presented in emergency with acute respiratory distress syndrome and history of fever for more than one-week duration. On investigation all the three patients were positive for Weil Felix reaction and showed dramatic response to doxycycline.
