摘要:Scrub typhus is recognised as an important differential diagnosis of fever, rash and sepsis in patients with a history of travel to Litchfi eld National Park in the Top End of the Northern Territory. All con-fi rmed scrub typhus cases to date from the Northern Territory have visited the Park, but the presence of similar rainforest pockets elsewhere in the Top End suggested further infectious locations might be identifi ed with increased tourism. We report a case of serologically confi rmed Orientia tsutsugamushi infection in a man who had not been within Litchfi eld Park, but had visited another discrete Top End rainforest area
