Scrub Typhus Treatment
Scrub typhus, also known as bush typhus, is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected larval mites found in areas with heavy vegetation, such as forests and grasslands. Scrub typhus is endemic to many parts of Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Australia.
