摘要：

Scrub typhus is an acute febrile disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi with a clinical course varying from mild to fatal. Vascular thrombosis is rare in scrub typhus. There is an increased risk of thrombotic events in Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). We report a young diabetic female who presented with pulmonary embolism, followed by deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and was found to have coinfection with scrub typhus and COVID-19 with underlying antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
