Introduction: Jaundice is one of the most dreaded medical disorders in pregnancy. Infective causes of jaundice are often confused with pregnancy specific liver disorders (P-sLD) like HELLP syndrome and acute fatty liver of pregnancy. Delivery may be needed in some situations irrespective of the etiology.Case Report: We report a case of preeclampsia (PE) complicated by HELLP syndrome which mimicked thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in the postpartum period coexistent with atypical scrub typhus. The diagnostic dilemma at presentation, the challenges surrounding its management, and the recovery following antibiotic treatment with doxycycline are described with a review of the literature.
