Title
Acute septicaemic melioidosis with pulmonary hilar prominence: A case report with a unique chest radiographic pattern
In acute septicaemic melioidosis chest radiographs most commonly show nodular densities, upper lobe pneumonitis with cavity formation, and irregular mottled densities with dissemination throughout both lungs. A rarely reported but unique radiographic pattern of bilateral pulmonary hilar prominence in a patient with acute septicaemic melioidosis is described. A triad of pulmonary hilar adenopathy, pyrexia, and suppurative lymphadenitis in a patient with Pseudomonas pseudomallei bacteraemia is emphasised.
