MELIOIDOSIS MANIFESTED BY CAVITARY LUNG DISEASE

ROBERT S. SWEET 1, EDWIN S. WILSON JR. 2, and BRUCE F. CHANDLER 3

1 From the Radiology Service, Letterman General Hospital, San Francisco, California
2 Radiology Service, Martin Army Hospital, Fort Benning, Georgia
3 Chief, Pulmonary and Communicable Disease Service, Letterman General Hospital, San Francisco, California

Melioidosis, a bacterial disease endemic in Southeast Asia, should be familiar to all physicians because of the increasing number of returnees from Vietnam.

A brief discussion of its acute and chronic forms is given and 2. chronic cases with cavitary lung involvement are reported.

The roentgenographic similarity to tuberculosis is stressed, and the possibility that pneumatoceles may occur in the disease is raised.
