Abstract:
Here we report a case of doxycycline-resistant tsutsugamushi meningoencephalitis. A 63-year-old man with altered mental status was diagnosed with a tsutsugamushi infection by a local clinic and administered standard doxycycline treatment for 5 days without improvement. Azithromycin treatment for 3 days dramatically improved his clinical status.
