Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) associated with Scrub typhus is an emerging health problem which is more common in the tropics including India. This study intended to find out the occurrence of Scrub typhus among the Community Acquired Acute Kidney Injury patients in a tertiary care hospital in Assam, North East India. AKI patients with acute febrile illness admitted to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati, Assam were included in the study and demographic characteristics along with clinical features were recorded. The detection of Scrub typhus was done by IgM Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test (Optical Density > 0.5) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. Routine haematological and biochemical tests were performed. Molecular characterization of Orientia tsutsugamushi was done followed by phylogenetic analysis. The Graph Pad Prism software 9 was used for statistical analysis. Out of 221 AKI patients admitted to hospital, 45 patients (20.4%) were confirmed to be Scrub typhus positive and among them, 4 cases were co-infected with leptospirosis. Majority of Scrub typhus positive AKI patients were in Stage I (82.2%) under KDIGO guideline. "Karp" was the predominant circulating serotype. The study showed cases of Scrub typhus associated Acute Kidney Injury was high and mortality was 11.1%. Hence, in this region, further studies need to be done with large number of population and more emphasis need to be given on differential diagnosis.
