Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, mostly affecting patients in Southeast Asia and northern Australia. The disease has been increasingly recognized around the world due to the increased levels of travel and population movement. Clinical manifestations of melioi...

The disease has been increasingly recognized around the world due to the increased levels of travel and population movement. Clinical manifestations of melioidosis range from fulminant septicemic illness to an indolent local infection.
