摘要：

Scrub typhus is a serious public health problem in the Asia Pacific region. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and mortality. Splenomegaly in isolated scrub typhus is mostly mild or subclinical and rarely massive. We report an adolescent boy with scrub typhus presenting with fever, massive splenomegaly and severe anemia. Clinicians should be aware of atypical presentations of scrub typhus, which is easily treatable with minimal investigations.
