摘要
The clinical manifestations and complications of scrub typhus are variable. Few studies have examined the timeline of clinical symptoms after the appropriate antimicrobial agents have been administered. The most prevalent clinical manifestations are fever and cough, followed by headache, myalgia, eschar, skin rash, and nausea. Systemic symptoms are most severe during the early stages of illness (i.e., the first 5 days), but resolve slowly within 2 weeks. The associated skin rash is most severe during the first 8 days of infection, but it resolves slowly within 21 days.
