Abstract
Rickettsial diseases are a re-emerging group of illnesses that are known to show a good response to treatment if diagnosed in time. Here we report a case of Scrub Typhus-related Meningoencephalitis in a young gentleman and the importance of high clinical suspicion with early empirical treatment in patients with consistent epidemiological context.
