- W4380490139 abstract "Aim: To describe coagulation abnormalities and their association with complications in patients with severe scrub typhus. Materials and methods: A cohort study was conducted among all patients of severe scrub typhus [immunoglobulin M (IgM) positive] who reported to this facility from 1st August 2019 to 31st July 2020 and met our inclusion criteria. We estimated the incidence of severe thrombocytopenia (<50,000/µL) and overt disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (DIC score of ≥5). We determined the association [risk (RR) ratios] of these abnormalities with complications of scrub typhus, namely—septic shock, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and septic shock with MODS. Results: In total, 71 patients were studied with a mean age of 50 ± 15.5 years, of which 45 (63.4%) were females. On presentation, fever 70 (98.5%), myalgias 22 (31.0%), loose stools 13(18.3%), cough, vomiting, headache 11 (15.5%), altered sensorium 10(14.1%), and pain abdomen 9 (12.7%) were main symptoms. On examination, hypotension 31 (43.7%), eschar 25 (35.2%), icterus 17 (23.9%), and rash 16 (22.5%) were noted. The d-dimer (>0.5 µg/mL) levels were increased in all (100%) patients. Thrombocytopenia (91.5%) was the commonest hematological abnormality and 31 (43.6%) of them had severe thrombocytopenia, 25 (35.2%) patients had low fibrinogen levels (<200 mg/dL) and prothrombin time (PT >16.7 seconds) was prolonged in 20 (28.1%). A total of 42 (59.1%) patients developed MODS, 33 (46.4%) developed septic shock, 24 (33.8 %) had MODS with septic shock, 17 (23.9%) developed overt DIC, and eight (11.2%) died. Severe thrombocytopenia (p = −0.028) and overt DIC (p = 0.045) were significantly associated with septic shock development. Conclusion: In the patients admitted with severe scrub typhus; thrombocytopenia was the commonest hematological abnormality. The development of septic shock was significantly associated with severe thrombocytopenia and overt DIC." @default.
