Digital Gangrene Associated with Scrub Typhus: A Case Series

We report three cases of scrub fever (55-year-old female, 63-year-old female, and 29-year-old male), all cases developed focal or pan-digital gangrene. All cases were successfully treated by administering doxycycline and additional supportive measures. Digital gangrene is uncommon in scrub typhus. Clinical suspension for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment may avoid further complications.PMID:38350131 | DOI:10.4269/ajtmh.23-0596
