Massive consolidation: a rare manifestation of paediatric Scrub typhus.

Despite resurgence in the number of Scrub typhus cases, it still poses a diagnostic challenge as there is no prototype presentation.

Despite such an extensive consolidation, respiratory symptoms such as cough and breathlessness were inconspicuous thereby posing a diagnostic dilemma.
