Just a quick clarification to last week's melioidosis pearl:
An astute reader noted the typo: "The patient should also be covered for melioidosis, and infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei." The sentence should read "...meliodosis, an infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei."
Just to clarify, melioidosis is caused by the bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei.
Many apologies for any confusion this might have caused.
Thanks for reading!
