As a treatable condition, prompt recognition is vital. However, few studies have focused on describing the symptomology and outcomes of neurological scrub typhus infection. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to report the clinical features and case fatality ratio (CFR) in patients with CNS scrub typhus infection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A search and analysis plan was published in PROSPERO [ID 328732].

The most common clinical features in CNS scrub typhus were those consistent with non-specific acute encephalitis syndromes (AES), such as fever (WPP 100.0% [99.5%-100.0%, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 47.8%]), altered sensorium (67.4% [54.9\u201378.8%, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 93.3%]), headache (65.0% [51.5\u201377.6%, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 95.1%]) and neck stiffness 56.6% (29.4\u201380.4%, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 96.3%).
