- Abstract
- A broad range of infectious agents can cause myopathy. However, the relationship between infectious agents and
chronic inflammatory myositis is less clear; in addition, whether infectious agents cause polymyositis, dermatomyositis
or inclusion body myositis is unknown. Scurb typhus is characterized by fever, rash, eschar, pneumonitis, meningitis and
disseminated intravascular coagulation that leads to severe multiorgan failure. However, there are few case reports of
scurb typhus associated with inflammatory myopathy. Here we report a case of scurb typhus associated with
dermatomyositis and review the medical literature.(Korean J Med 73:S1081-S1084, 2007)
Keywords :Dermatomyositis, Scrub typhus
