Atypical Presentations in Melioidosis: A Case-Based Review from Endemic Regions
In endemic areas, melioidosis should be taken into account when making a differential diagnosis of a variety of clinical syndromes, especially in patients who have diabetes or have had relevant environmental exposure. Poor outcomes and diagnostic delays are greatly exacerbated by atypical presentations. Improving diagnostic capabilities and raising awareness are crucial to lessening the worldwide burden of this often ignored but potentially deadly infection.
