ABSTRACT
The clinical manifestations of septicemic melioidosis and other bacterial septicemia were studied at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University. Forty-three cases of septicemic melioidosis and 68 non-melioidosis septicemia cases were analysed. By univariate analysis, the following clinical features are associated with septicemic melioidosis male patients; age below 45 years; underlying diabetes mellitus or renal failure; pulmonary infection, impending respiratory failure and multiorgan involvement, while abdominal pain and urinary tract infection were more common in non-melioidosis septicemia. By using discriminant analysis and logistic regression, 3 features (diabetes mellitus, multiorgan involvement, and no abdominal pain or pulmonary infection) could discriminate the two groups with the accuracy of more than 85 per cent.
