“…10 In Bhutan, this disease had remained as an unrecognized, under-diagnosed and under-reported disease with often fatal consequences till it was reported in 2009. 11 Further, a case study showed that there was a delay in recognition of an outbreak of Scrub typhus in a remote primary school during August to October 2014 leading to two deaths due to complication of the disease. 12 A total of 3104 patients were admitted at Gedu Hospital from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 31 2020 and out of them 185 (6%) patients had a diagnosis of Scrub typhus.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to understand the field epidemiology, clinical findings, diagnostic reports and outcome of Scrub typhus patients admitted at Gedu District Hospital, Bhutan. Methods: The researcher extracted data from the records of patients admitted at the hospital from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2020, with diagnosis of Scrub typhus. A total of 185 records were used to study the demographic distribution, results of rapid diagnostic test for Scrub typhus, presence of eschar, treatment outcome and duration of admission in the hospital. Results: The months of May to October had increased admissions of 137 (74%) patients with a peak in September. Three gewogs (sub-districts) had 173 (93.5%) patients; age range was 6 months to 84 years and a greater proportion of patients were females. Conclusion: Scrub typhus is endemic in the district. The absence of recorded fever or a negative rapid diagnostic test report may not exclude the diagnosis of Scrub typhus.

Scrub typhus is an acute febrile bacterial illness and has a high mortality if left untreated. It is caused by bacterium called Orientia tsutsugamushi which is transmitted to humans as zoonosis by bite of chigger mites that are infected by the bacterium. The diagnosis is based on clinical features and specific laboratory tests. Treatment of Scrub typhus is done with antibiotics and symptoms management. This report is a case of a 24-year-old female febrile patient who presented with complications of Scrub typhus due to missed diagnosis at Primary Health Centre and managed at district hospital. This case report highlights the challenges faced by health workers in management of acute febrile illness in a diagnosis-constrained setting.

Students’ academic performance in English is closely influenced by their ability to read. This study investigated the impacts of students’ reading habits on their academic performance in English in one of the higher secondary schools in Wangdue Phodrang Dzongkhag (district). The study adopted a qualitative case study approach. The population of the study consisted of 12 students from Class 9 and 10 and 2 teachers teaching them English. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants. The data collection tools included a semi-structured interview and document analysis. The data collected were analysed using thematic analysis propounded by Braun and Clarke (2018). The finding showed that reading impacted students’academic performance in English. Further, the study showed that teachers play a vital role in the development of students reading habits through the use of various strategies and methods. However, the study highlighted that students spend less time on reading owing to various challenges such as inability to understand the word, inability to comprehend the text, time constraint, lack of guidance, poor conducive environment, limited resources, and limited library time. The study recommends parents, teachers, and schools strive to enhance the reading habits of all students.
