title: Imported scrub typhus in The Netherlands.
abstract: Two cases of travel-acquired scrub typhus imported in the Netherlands are described. The characteristic eschar was absent in both cases. One case acquired scrub typhus in non-rural surroundings in India, highlighting that scrub typhus must also be considered a (sub) urban zoonosis.
