Melioidosis in a Horse [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hygiene, 1927
A race-horse, which had been imported into the Malay States from Australia, got out of condition and occasionally coughed up thick pus. Five specimens of pus were brought to the laboratory between February and July, 1925, and on each occasion B. whitmori was isolated from it. The blood of the horse agglutinated the standard strain of B.

Korat‐Scrub Typhus Score: A Clinical Tool for Predicting Scrub Typhus in Patients With Acute Undifferentiated Febrile Illness

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1066-1072, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Scrub typhus is a major cause of acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) in the Asia–Pacific region. Nonspecific presentation, limited diagnostic accuracy and delayed treatment increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to develop a simple clinical score for early diagnosis in adults with AUFI. Methods A cross‐sectional

Latent Class Log‐Linear Models for Estimating Diagnostic Test Accuracy Without a Gold Standard: A Simulation Study

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 15-17, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In the absence of a gold standard, latent class models can be used to estimate test accuracy from a study comparing results on multiple tests. Fixed‐effect and latent trait models are often used to account for conditional dependencies between tests, mitigating against biased accuracy estimates, but are difficult to implement. Latent

Misdiagnosing Melioidosis

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Melioidosis is endemic in southern and Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Although relatively few indigenous cases are recognized in the Indian subcontinent, a substantial proportion of cases imported into the United Kingdom originate there, probably reflecting patterns of immigration and travel, and underdiagnosis within the Indian subcontinent.
