| Abstract |
|
Tsutsugamushi disease is an acute infectious and febrile disease that is transmitted to human by
larvae of several species of mites, Leptotrimbidium pallidum, Leptotrimbidium akamushi and
Leptotrimbidium scutellare.
Recently in Korea, this disease is increasingly reported in adult age but few cases are reported in
pediatric age.
We experienced two cases of tsutsugamushi disease in children, one of whom had no rash.
This disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of febrile disease with rash or FUO
in Korean children. |
