Scrub typhus, or tsutsugamushi fever, is a zoonosis of rural Asia and the western Pacific islands. The causative organism, Orientia (formerly Rickettsia) tsutsugamushi, is transmitted to humans by the bite of a larval Leptotrombidium mite (chigger). Scrub typhus may have gastrointestinal presentations, such as acute acalculous cholecystitis, duodenal ulcer perforation, peritonitis and gastric ulceration. Acute pancreatitis with scrub typhus has been reported rarely. We report a patient of scrub typhus complicated by acute pancreatitis and acute kidney injury.

Scrub typhus, a re-emerging acute febrile zoonosis can present as an undifferentiated fever often complicated by potentially fatal systemic involvement. Acute pancreatitis is a rare complication of scrub typhus which can result in a marked elevation of serum lipase. We report three cases of scrub typhus who presented with acute undifferentiated fever, where a marked elevation of serum lipase occurred without any evidence of acute pancreatitis, or other causes of elevated lipase levels. Scrub typhus should be considered as a cause of marked elevation of serum lipase, which can occur in the absence of pancreatitis.
