Abstract excerpt

Scrub typhus (ST), an often-underdiagnosed zoonotic infection, poses significant diagnostic and management challenges, particularly in regions with endemic tropical infections like Malaysia. We report three fatal cases of ST in central region West Malaysia, highlighting diagnostic pitfalls and implications for clinical management. Three fatal cases of ST presented with respiratory distress and multiorgan failure...
