2026-08-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>We report a case of a 5-year-old boy who presented with high fever, generalized petechiae, and severe thrombocytopenia. He was initially misdiagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura. A careful physical examination revealed a characteristic eschar on the left forearm. Combined with a history of outdoor activity, a diagnosis of tsutsugamushi disease (scrub typhus) was suspected and l...
