Melioidosis with venous thrombosis and cellulitis in the left lower limb: a case report
This case report shows us the lack of diagnostics to detect melioidosis in hospital settings in Bangladesh. The successful treatment outcome proved the importance of routine surveillance for rare or unusual diseases, in addition to endemic pathogens. In addition, training is essential to improve knowledge and raise awareness among clinicians about the clinical diagnosis and management of melioidosis.
