Imaging Spectrum in Scrub Typhus Neuroinfection: A South Indian Cohort Study

Scrub typhus neuroinfection demonstrates a broad imaging spectrum, most frequently leptomeningeal enhancement with characteristic parieto-occipital and cerebellar predilection. MRI remains the modality of choice, though CT retains diagnostic value in acute or resource-limited settings. Recognition of these patterns in febrile patients from endemic regions can expedite diagnosis and treatment, preventing neurological sequelae.
