    Abstract:
    CASE: We report a case of melioidotic septic arthritis of the ankle and secondary osteomyelitis of the talus in a 64-year-old farmer with diabetes mellitus. Arthroscopic drainage and debridement, followed by 6 months of appropriate antibiotic therapy, resulted in a good short-term outcome. CONCLUSION: Melioidotic septic arthritis of the ankle is extremely rare. This case report highlights the possibility of this disease occurring on the Indian subcontinent.
