Abstract
In Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia, our military personnel are being exposed to exotic diseases which American physicians have encountered only in textbooks. One of them is melioidosis, a bacterial infection most often involving the lungs. It may occur as acute septicemia and be fatal within hours or may occur in a chronic form as late as 17 years after exposure.Keywords
