  • Title: Acute transverse myelitis associated with scrub typhus: case report and a review of literatures.
    Author: Lee KL, Lee JK, Yim YM, Lim OK, Bae KH.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2008 Feb; 60(2):237-9. PubMed ID: 17997258.
    Abstract:
    We describe a rare case of acute transverse myelitis associated with scrub typhus. Magnetic resonance imaging scans, clinical characteristics, skin biopsy, and cerebrospinal fluid cytology confirmed a diagnosis of acute transverse myelitis associated with scrub typhus. To our knowledge, this was not seen in a prior publication. Our case indicates that Orientia tsutsugamushi can invade spinal cord.
