Macrophage activation syndrome is a potentially life threatening phenomenon characterised by aggressive proliferation of macrophages and T lymphocytes leading to haemophagocytosis of other blood cells and multi organ failure. Here we present a very unusual combination of leptospirosis and scrub
OBJECTIVE
Leptospirosis in children is an often under diagnosed condition due to the non specificity of the presentations except for the classical Weil's disease.
