		Melioidosis is an infectious disease of humans and animals caused by a gram-negative bacillus found in soil and water.
		Acute melioidosis takes one of three forms: a localized skin infection that may spread to nearby lymph nodes; an infection of the lungs associated with high fever (102°F/38.9°C), headache, chest pain, and coughing; and septicemia (blood poisoning) characterized by disorientation, difficulty breathing, severe headache, and an eruption of pimples on the head or trunk.
		Melioidosis is usually suspected based on the patient's history, especially travel, occupational exposure to infected animals, or a history of intravenous drug.

		Melioidosis, a tropical and sub tropical infectious disease that strikes slowly, is hard to diagnose and eventually fatal and remains an emerging infectious disease with serious environmental and health problems.
		Melioidosis remains under-recognized in many regions of the world because of its limited understanding among clinicians and microbiologists that leads to misidentification and mismanagement.
		Also due to lack of modern equipped laboratories for it's identification and shortage of funds for research it remains largely untreatable.1 Facing increasing cases all over the world, clinicians and microbiologists in Pakistan should be more alert and aware of this clinical entity.
