AbstractWe present four cases of pediatric scrub typhus from a tertiary care center of eastern India, emphasizing on varied unusual clinical manifestations posing diagnostic difficulties. A low index of suspicion is required to prevent under diagnosis. We report a case series of four patients with scrub typhus having uncommon clinical manifestations (two patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, one patient with myocarditis, and one patient presenting with shock reminiscent of dengue shock syndrome). The response to doxycycline was good, with fever subsiding within 48 to 72 hours of starting the treatment. Three out of four cases completely recovered once appropriate medication was given.

Rhodococcus equiis an unusual zoonotic pathogen that can cause life-threatening diseases in susceptible hosts. Twelve patients withR. equiinfection in Kentucky were compared to 137 cases reported in the literature. Although lungs were the primary sites of infection in immunocompromised patients, extrapulmonary involvement only was more common in immunocompetent patients (P<0.0001). Mortality inR. equi-infected HIV patients was lower in the HAART era (8%) than in pre-HAART era (56%) (P<0.0001), suggesting that HAART improves prognosis in these patients. Most (85–100%) of clinical isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, clarithromycin, rifampin, aminoglycosides, ciprofloxacin, and imipenem. Interestingly, there was a marked difference in susceptibility of the isolates to cotrimoxazole between Europe (35/76) and the US (15/15) (P<0.0001). Empiric treatment ofR. equiinfection should include a combination of two antibiotics, preferably selected from vancomycin, imipenem, clarithromycin/azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, rifampin, or cotrimoxazole. Local antibiograms should be checked prior to using cotrimoxazole due to developing resistance.
