​A total of 5 people, including four females, have died in Shimla due to a bacterial infection. This infection is caused by scrub typhus, which is also known as bush typhus. The infection is spreading fast in India and as per reports, so far more than 700 people have been infected by this. As per a 2022 study published in Cureus, "clinical manifestations of this illness include kidney failure, disability, and severe kidney failure. Undifferentiated symptoms, late diagnosis, and treatment failure are all responsible for deaths." This requires us to know about this disease and how to prevent it. ​
