Scrub typhus is a zoonotic disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. Scrub typhus presenting with thrombocytopenia has been reported up to half of patients with Scrub Typhus. Thrombocytopenia is usually complicated with multiorgan dysfunction and high mortality rate. Here we report a case of a diagnosed scrub typhus infection with severe thrombocytopenia and management of such a case.
