Abstract

Melioidosis is a rare infectious disease that is very prevalent in certain areas of the world, namely Thailand and certain parts of Northern Australia. There are only 29 cases being reported in the UK since 1988. With air transport industry getting more and more readily available and affordable, it is important to recognise this disease especially those who have recently travelled to those endemic regions. We report a case of a man who presented with pulmonary melioidosis after recent travel to Thailand.
