Abstract
Scrub typhus is a mite-borne rickettsial zoonosis caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. We report a case of scrub typhus with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in an adult diabetic male in Chennai. The diagnosis was made initially by serology and subsequently confirmed by detection of the 56 kDa gene. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2017; 7(3):165-167

Key words: Scrub typhus, diabetic ketoacidosis, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, nested PCR
