ALB and scrub typhus: There was a total of eight laboratory parameters, platelet count (<1,50,000 cells/mm3), total bilirubin (>1.4 mg/dL), direct bilirubin (>0.3 mg/dL), aspartate aminotransferase (>40 IU/L), alkaline phosphatase (>130 U/L), total protein (<6.4 g/dL), serum albumin (<3.5 g/dL), and serum creatinine (>1.2 mg/dL) that showed a significant correlation with severe scrub typhus (Table 2).
