  • Title: A rare cause of septic arthritis: melioidosis.
    Author: Caldera AS, Kumanan T, Corea E.
    Journal: Trop Doct; 2013 Oct; 43(4):164-6. PubMed ID: 24067292.
    Abstract:
    Melioidosis is a pyogenic infection with high mortality caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. As the clinical presentation is not distinctive, a high index of clinical suspicion is required for diagnosis. We present a case of a 50-year-old farmer who was diabetic and a chronic alcoholic, who presented to us with pneumonia, followed by septic arthritis. He was ultimately diagnosed as having melioidosis.
