Mysterious Melioidosis Osteomyelitis: Salvage Therapy Success!

A 59-year-old man with worsening forearm pain and fever was initially misdiagnosed elsewhere. It was the expertise of an Infectious Diseases (ID) specialist that led to the crucial diagnosis of melioidosis-associated osteomyelitis, confirmed through advanced microbiology. Blood cultures confirmed *Burkholderia pseudomallei*, the deadly cause of melioidosis, likely acquired from sub-chlorinated water near a construction site.

Recognizing the severity of this complex bone infcetion with sepsis, the ID specialist led a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Vikas Agashe, whose timely guidance ensured the right debridement technique for optimal source control. Radiologists, microbiologists, and orthopedic experts worked together to manage this complex bone infection.

With severe drug intolerance limiting standard treatments, a novel levonadifloxacin regimen was initiated as salvage therapy—leading to a complete cure after 8.5 months, with no relapse at 4 months post-treatment!

This case underscores the critical role of ID specialists, expert surgical intervention, and medical teamwork in saving lives. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Vikas Agashe for his life-saving surgical expertise! & gratitude to Dr Rajeev Soman Sir, Dr V Balaji, Dr Kandarp Vidyarthi, Dr. Rajiv Gupta (radiology), Dr Ishita , Dr Mrinalini for their life-saving impactful interventions during the course of recovery fro this complex bone infection.

This is the first-ever long-term success of levonadifloxacin in melioidosis. Watch now to learn about this breakthrough in infectious disease treatment!
