Abstract
Scrub typhus is usually a mild infectious disease. Our cases present the most dramatic example of sudden death due to ARDS in a short period of time. The clinical investigation and analysis suggest direct endothelial cell invasion of the organism and marked iNOS expression may be involved in the pathogenesis of ARDS associated with scrub typhus.
