To elucidate the epidemic status, clinical profile, and current diagnostic issues of
scrub typhus
in Shandong Province, we analyzed the surveillance data of
scrub typhus
from 2006 to 2011 and conducted a hospital-based disease survey in 2010.
Scrub typhus
was clustered in mountainous and coastal areas in Shandong Province, with an epidemic period from September to November. The most common manifestations were fever (100%), eschar or skin ulcer (86.3%), fatigue (71.6%), anorexia (71.6%), and rash (68.6%). Predominant complications included bronchopneumonia, toxic hepatitis, and acute cholecystitis in 21.6%, 3.9%, and 2.9% of the cases, respectively. Severe complications including toxic myocarditis, heart failure, pneumonedema, pleural effusion, and
emphysema
were first reported in Shandong. Missed and delayed diagnosis of
scrub typhus
was common in local medical institutions. Alarm should be raised for changes of clinical features and current diagnostic issues of
scrub typhus
in newly developed endemic areas.
