Melioidosis: Thailand's unknown deadly disease

 

Thailand's third most-deadly infectious disease kills 40 percent of those infected, but very few have ever heard of it.

 

Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand -  By the time Bunsri Mamak, 50, arrived at Sappasit Prasong Hospital in Ubon Ratchathani city in Thailand's northeast, he was delirious and a very sick man. He had spent several weeks visiting local clinics and hospitals trying to find out what was wrong with him when he first developed the symptoms - high fever and pain in his legs. The doctors he visited failed to diagnose his illness and provide the necessary treatment.
