Hepatic/splenic abscess and/or skin and soft tissue infection as predictors of melioidosis in children by Supatjaree Chanvitan, Alan Geater, Kamolwish Laoprasopwattana

“…Suspected patients who did not have hepatic abscess, splenic abscess, or soft tissue infection were unlikely to have melioidosis with negative predictive value of 0.90. Conclusion: patients who have clinically suspected melioidosis without skin or soft tissue infection should have hepatic-splenic ultrasonography performed, and suspected patients who have one of these 3 findings should be treated initially as melioidosis while waiting for culture or serologic test results. …”
