Abstract

Abstract Disseminated melioidosis is rarely seen in Northern India. Presentation of melioidosis in the form of oligoarthritis and other musculoskeletal symptoms is further rarer. In this report, such a rare case of melioidosis and built-up to diagnosis was discussed. The aim of reporting this case was to know the diagnostic difficulties in identifying this entity and to create awareness of extremely important neglected tropical infection.
