Abstract

Melioidosis and scrub typhus are endemic diseases in Malaysia. However, unlike melioidosis, scrub typhus is more difficult to be diagnosed and in Malaysia its true disease burden is unknown. We report a case of severe melioidosis and scrub typhus co-infection in a patient living in a small village in Peninsular Malaysia whom presented with fever and headache. This case highlights the importance of considering scrub typhus as a diagnostic possibility in cases of acute undifferentiated febrile illness in rural areas such as that of in Peninsular Malaysia.
