Scrub typhus is an infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium transmitted by the larvae of trombiculid mites. It can range in severity from a mild fever with no localizing signs, to a life-threatening disease with multi-organ failure.
The World Health Organization has described scrub typhus as ”probably the most under-diagnosed and under-reported febrile illness which requires hospitalization in the South-east Asian region”, while a recent review termed it “the single most prevalent, neglected and severe, but easily treatable disease in the world.”

Organising team
Chairperson Dr Anita Sharma
Scrub typhus has come back in a big way in the 21st century with outbreaks in many parts of India. The Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS)
founded by His Holiness Swami Rama, is the oldest medical college of Uttarakhand with its largest tertiary-care hospital and NABL accredited reference laboratory. HIMS treated its first patient of scrub typhus in 2009. The number of patients has been increasing with every passing year, and scrub typhus now accounts for a significant proportion of patients in our ICU and wards.
The Department of Medicine at HIMS is organizing a CME on scrub typhus on
October 6, 2013 to introduce the medical fraternity and health administrators
of our state to some of the best experts in the disease. We will present a
detailed epidemiological and clinical overview of the disease as documented
by our experienced faculty.
There will be sessions on the management of scrub typhus, and a panel
discussion to formulate a comprehensive healthcare and public health
response to this disease. We believe that this CME will equip doctors at all
levels to have high index of suspicion of scrub typhus when warranted,to
diagnose it with confidence and treat it effectively.
Who this CME is for
The CME will cater to the needs of a wide spectrum of health professionals of
Uttarakhand and neighbouring states :
- Medical college faculty and post-graduate students in medicine,
pediatrics, microbiology, community medicine, and nursing in the
states of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh
- Practicing physicians
- Health administrators at all levels
