I've had 2 lumbar discs removed so I also am interested in aspects of medicine. I notice the extremes of "Carbuncle", but do not know of "Melioidosis". Could you briefly explain? I do understand your limited time. Thank You. Dr.:

If Melioidosis is not picked up that one find day they will present with fatal sepsis and pneumonia.

Thanks for visiting Paga. I will have to agree with you. I actually had a case about a month ago when an elderly lady was admitted with fever chills and multiple areas of abscess over the scalp body and legs and was diabetic. Her cultures were positive for meliodosis. But the above lady had carbuncle / abscesses at different periods of time, so still possible? eve ya lo always lke that one. Actually, very normal human reaction, fear of the unknown. that is why the fear factor can be so good show. Dont you think? Ooh! Thanks for visiting Paga. I will have to agree with you.

How's life in JB (i presume?) Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that. Especially since we do get more patients from an agricultural background than KL-ites. Hi Pagal, nice to hear from you again.

We must exclude Melioidosis. Next time probably we should ask the microbiologist to look for B.pseudomallei carefully. Pagal The lady with multiple carbuncle : did you check her cultures.
