We report a case of a 14-year-old child with scrub typhus who developed acute pancreatitis. On serological confirmation, doxycycline therapy was started. The patient responded well and had no complications on follow-up. This case report highlights the importance of recognising an uncommon presentation of this common tropical disease, and its prompt diagnosis and early treatment for prevention of serious complications of the condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2015-213929","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,9]],"date-time":"2016-05-09T03:28:25Z","timestamp":1462764505000},"page":"bcr2015213929","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Scrub typhus masquerading as acute pancreatitis"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2016","author":[{"given":"Amit","family":"Chaturvedi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine, Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shweta","family":"Bhardwaj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine, Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dipti","family":"Handa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine, Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082700291902000_2016.may08_1.bcr2015213929.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"519","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2003.69.519","article-title":"Occurrence of Orientia tsutsugamushi in small mammals from Thailand","volume":"69","author":"Coleman","year":"2003","journal-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg"},{"key":"2025082700291902000_2016.may08_1.bcr2015213929.2","unstructured":"Bennett JE , Dolin R , Blaser MJ .
