Pure cerebellitis due to scrub typhus: a unique case report.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 24-year old Indian man who presented with high fever; drowsiness; an eschar and gross cerebellar dysfunction with horizontal gaze nystagmus; ataxic speech; and truncal ataxia. Scrub typhus was diagnosed by serological tests. This is the first case of a pure cerebellar involvement as the only manifestation of scrub typhus in the published literature.
