Melioidotic septic arthritis: report of two cases

M Kamal, S A Rhani, M Siti Norbaya.


Abstract
Osteomyelitis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei is an uncommon presentation of melioidosis. The clinical diagnosis of melioidosis is difficult as the signs and symptoms are non-specific and the duration of symptoms varies widely. We present two cases of melioidotic septic arthritis, one associated with tibial osteomyelitis and another involving the femur. Rawal Med J 2011;36:62-65).

Key words: Melioidosis, Burkholderia pseudomallei, septic arthritis, granulomatous osteomyelitis.
