Scrub typhus pneumonitis with delayed resolution.
A 35-year-old lady was admitted to hospital with fever and dry cough. Chest radiograph showed bilateral basal infiltrate. Her Weil-Felix test was strongly positive (OX-K > 1:160) and her fever came down with intravenous tetracycline. There was no improvement in the lung shadow and spirometry showed a severe restrictive defect. Open lung biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of interstitial pneumonitis. CT of thorax 6 months after presentation showed partial resolution of the interstitial shadow.
