%X Scrub typhus is a zoonotic disease caused by <i>Orientia tsutsugamushi</i> (<i>O. tsutsugamushi</i>) in which humans are accidental hosts. Acute arrest of
hemopoiesis (AA<span style=\"color:black;\">H) always
manifests in pancytopenia and with supportive treatment or inducement removal,
the AAH patients would show significant improvement </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">i</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">n blood routine </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">for </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">about a week. As a rapidly progressive and
potentially life-threatening organ function disorder syndrome, multiple organ
dysfunction syndrome (MODS) </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">is </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">often induced by many factors includ</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">ing</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\"> infection, illness and injury. We received a
rare case of scrub typhus rapidly presenting with AAH and MODS 2 weeks ago. The
clinical data of a 32-year-old female with <i>O. tsutsugamushi</i>-induced AAH
and MODS was summarized retrospectively and analyzed with a literature review.
In this case, we selected tigecycline and moxifloxacin as treatment regimen</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">s</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\"> </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">for</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\"> scrub typhus. When the potential infection </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">was </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;color:black;\">controlled</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">, her pancytopenia and hepatic function rapidly improved in a few days.
