Scrub typhus is an emerging infectious disease in many parts of the world, and is endemic to South Eastern and Far Eastern countries of Asia. Scrub typhus can be a very serious infection that often presents with non-specific symptoms, making it difficult to differentiate from other infections. The laboratory findings and clinical course may also vary significantly, making diagnosis and appropriate treatment difficult. Complications include jaundice, hepatitis, renal failure, ARDS, myocarditis, encephalitis, etc. Here we present a study of scrub typhus in our medical college at the outskirt of Udaipur city in the state of Rajasthan, India during the two year study period from September 2020 to August 2022, a total of 100 cases were included. Emphysis was given on the levels of triglycerides and other haematological findings to determine the development and prevelance of multi organ dysfunction (MODS) in the patients of scrub typhus. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential as a delay in treatment can result in significant mortality. From this study, it is concluded that more the levels of triglyceride, more is the development of MODS.
