ABSTRACT
Scrub typhus is a zoonosis transmitted by a chigger of trombiculid mite and manifested with fever, skin rash, myalgia, and hepatitis etc. The renal involvement of the disease is prese-ted with transient microscopic hematuria and/or proteinuria. However acute renal failure or meningoencephalitis is very rare. We report a case of scrub typhus manifested with acute renal failure, meningoencephalitis, and hepatitis. The patient was treated with doxycycline and continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration (CAVH) and recovered successfully.
