Аннотация
We conducted a retrospective study of the adult patients (age ≥18 years) with serologically confirmed scrub typhus admitted between January 1998 and December 2009 at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. There were 63 adult scrub typhus patients with chest radiographic examinations. A total of 147 chest radiographs were obtained and reviewed. The most frequent abnormal findings in this study were parenchymal infiltration with bilateral and lower lung predilection. The distribution of abnormal chest radiographs was observed more than 50% during the first week. Furthermore, the progressive change was frequently observed during the first week. There is a significant correlation among laboratory findings, clinical course, and outcome. Chest radiography may be a complementary tool to evaluate the clinical course of scrub typhus and chest radiographic examinations should be taken during the first week after the onset of illness.
