Scrub typhus, a common febrile illness in South Asia, can rarely cause life-threatening myocarditis with complete heart block. We report a 43-year-old man presenting with a one-week history of fever, shortness of breath, and abdominal pain. Laboratory findings showed transaminitis, hypoalbuminemia, elevated C-reactive protein, and mild hypokalemia, suggesting an infectious etiology.

Scrub typhus, caused by , transmitted through bites from infected chiggers (larval mites), is a common infection in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Maldives, and typically presents with fever with myalgia, rash, eschar, and internal organ involvement. Pulmonary complications like severe pneumonia are less common but can be life-threatening. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with underlying hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis on immunosuppressive therapy, who presented with high-grade fever, dry cough, and worsening shortness of breath.

Objective: The influence of climate change on infectious disease dynamics is a subject of interest, but it demands robust scientific evidence. This study explores the short-term and long-term relationships between meteorological factors and the incidence of scrub typhus (ST) in South Korea.
Methods: From 2001 to 2018, data on meteorological conditions and weekly ST cases were sourced from national databases.

Background: Rickettsioses are diseases caused by obligate intracellular non-motile coccobacilli transmitted via arthropods. The most common rickettsioses are scrub typhus (ST), typhus group rickettsioses (TGR), and spotted fever group rickettsioses (SFGR). This study aims to provide information and insight into rickettsioses seropositivity among suspected patients in East and Peninsular Malaysia over a six-year period from 2016 to 2021.
