INTRODUCTION

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative organism for meliodosis. It is a disease of humans and animals restricted to southeast Asia and north Australia with some reports of occurrence in India ⁽¹⁾. The organism is mainly found in soil and water and they mainly infect through inoculation, inhalation or ingestion. Incubation period ranges from 1-3 weeks. It is more common in patients with diabetes mellitus⁽²⁾. Burkholderia pseudoallei causes various diseases such as asymptomatic infection to abscess, pneumonia, septicemia and disseminated infections
