A case of typical eschar in scrub typhus
In the mountainous regions of Yunnan Province, China, local farmers engage in activities in the jungle. Owing to inadequate protection, infections with Orientia tsutsugamushi are common. Here, we share a typical image of eschar in scrub typhus for reference, which could be of use to clinical practitioners in areas where scrub typhus is less commonly encountered.
