  • Title: Isolated abducens nerve palsy in a patient with scrub typhus.
    Author: Lee YH, Yun YJ, Jeong SH.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2010 Oct; 14(5):460-1. PubMed ID: 21035078.
    Abstract:
    Abducens nerve palsies associated with infectious diseases are infrequent. Scrub typhus is an acute, febrile, infectious illness caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (formerly Rickettsia tsutsugamushi), an obligate-intracellular gram-negative bacterium. The organism has been reported to be capable of entering the nervous system, causing meningitis and focal neurologic abnormalities. We report a case of isolated abducens nerve palsy associated with a scrub typhus infection.
