What are the characteristic MRI and CT imaging patterns in patients with scrub typhus neuroinfection?
MRI is the modality of choice for identifying characteristic parieto-occipital and cerebellar leptomeningeal enhancement in scrub typhus neuroinfection, aiding in early diagnosis.
Scrub typhus neuroinfection demonstrates a broad imaging spectrum, most frequently leptomeningeal enhancement with characteristic parieto-occipital and cerebellar predilection. MRI remains the modality of choice, though CT retains diagnostic value in acute or resource-limited settings. Recognition of these patterns in febrile patients from endemic regions can expedite diagnosis and treatment, preventing neurological sequelae.

Shalini et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Scrub typhus neuroinfection. MRI and CT imaging was evaluated on Imaging spectrum patterns. MRI imaging of scrub typhus neuroinfection most frequently demonstrates leptomeningeal enhancement with characteristic parieto-occipital and cerebellar predilection.
