- Abstract: Scrub typhus, a neglected disease, is a significant health concern in the Tsutsugamushi triangle of the Asia-Pacific and has raised global concerns due to recent cases occurring outside this region. To estimate the global prevalence of scrub typhus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases for observational studies on scrub typhus. Using a random-effects model, we combined the prevalence estimates with inverse-variance weights while also evaluating heterogeneity and publication bias. Among 3551 reports screened, we identified 181 studies with 1,48,251 samples for inclusion in our synthesis. The overall pooled seroprevalence (95% confidence intervals) of scrub typhus infections was 24.93% (23.27-26.60). Gender-wise pooled prevalence was estimated to be 50.23% (47.05-53.40) for males and 48.84% (45.87-51.80) for females. Eschar prevalence was observed to be 30.34% (22.54-38.15) among the positive cases. One-fourth of all the samples tested positive for scrub typhus and eschar was present in one-third of these total positive cases, encompassing regions beyond the Tsutsugamushi triangle. This estimation underlines the importance of this neglected disease as a public health problem. Strengthening surveillance and implementing disease control measures are needed in the affected regions.
