title: Septicaemic melioidosis.
abstract: Melioidosis is an emerging infectious disease in our country. It is an important cause of community-acquired 'sepsis syndrome' particularly in patients with underlying immunosuppression which often goes undetected due to lack of awareness resulting in high fatalities. Here we report a case of septicaemic melioidosis in a diabetic patient.
