Abstract
Melioidosis is increasingly being reported from India in the
past few years. Since it can mimic tuberculosis during the initial
presentation, treatment with antituberculosis drugs is common.
It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any
pyrexia of unknown origin. We report two cases of melioidosis
that presented with pyrexia of unknown origin and a localized
cutaneous abscess over the chest wall.
