CASE REPORT OF MELIOIDOSIS (WHITMORE)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Melioidosis (also called Whitmore's Disease) is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium called Burkholderia pseudomallei (previously known as Pseudomonas pseudomallei). Pneumonia is the commonest clinical presentation of melioidosis. There may also be multiple abscesses. Melioidosis is associated with a significant mortality attributable to severe sepsis and its complications. Melioidosis occurs predominantly in Southeast Asia, northern Australia. The bacteria are also of some concern as a potential agent for biological warfare and biological terrorism.
