Abstract
After the careful selection of appropriate antibiotics including meropenem, vancomycin, and doxycycline, he recovered and was subsequently discharged 7 days after admission. This case highlights that scrub typhus infection can mimic acute abdomen and septic shock with DIC. This rare presentation of acute abdomen and septic shock with thrombocytopenia and DIC caused by scrub typhus should remind physicians to be alert to the possibility of acute abdomen and febrile illness resulting from scrub typhus.
