Abstract

We treated a case of severe murine typhus in a Japanese traveler after returning from Thailand. Although the disease is typically self-limited or mild, the patient showed shock and multiple organ failure including acute respiratory distress syndrome. Then the patient fully recovered following intensive care and administration of antirickettsial medicines.
