Abstract
Abstract The chronicles of Melioidosis, a Glanders like disease dates back from 1911 Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma). The disease is regarded as endemic to Southeast Asia (Vietnam, China, and Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore). In India despite having the perfect triad of the host; pathogen and environment case reports have been sparse; however, cases are being reported now from West Bengal in east to Rajasthan in west and Bihar in north to Pondicherry in south. The clinical community is largely oblivious to the menace buried within the paddy fields, vast coastline, tropical climate and abundant rainfall. With 62 million diabetics and 77.2 million pre-diabetics, with 30% population consuming alcohol; the two commonest associated underlying risk factors, India is like sitting on a time bomb waiting to explode.
