The aim of this study is to determine the Hematological manifestations among patients with Scrub typhus. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional Sero-Epidemiological study was conducted in the department of Paediatrics, Indira Gandhi Medical College, and Shimla from 1st June 2017 to 30th Nov 2018. The study participants were newly diagnosed paediatric cases(n-102) of scrub typhus with a positive Scrub typhus IgM ELISA test.  Results: Out of 102 cases 75 (73.5%) cases had increased ESR (>20), 51(50.0%) cases had low haemoglobin level (Hb < 11), followed by 33(32.4%) cases had leucocytosis (TLC >12000/cumm ) with mean value of 11363±6426, leucopenia was documented in 1 case(0.9%), lymphocytosis(>40%) was present in 30 (29.4%) cases and Neutrophillia >75% in 15(14.7%) cases. Thrombocytopenia (platelets < 150,000/cumm) was present in 31(30.4%) cases Conclusion:  Early recognition and focused management of Hematological complications may help reducemorbidity and mortality associated with Scrub typhus infection.
