Melioidosis: a reminder.

Recrudescent pulmonary melioidosis developed in two patients 12 and 16 years after their last travels to an endemic area. In one, a clinically silent prostatic abscess may have been the focus; and in both, the diagnosis was difficult to make even when the laboratory was notified of the possibility of infection with Pseudomonas pseudomallei. Recrudescent melioidosis should be considered in febrile patients who have been in endemic areas regardless of the interval from last exposure to the development of disease.

Premature coronary artery atherosclerosis in a patient with Prader-Willi syndrome.

A 26-year old white male with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus presented with asymptomatic bilateral lower limb swelling. An electrocardiogram was consistent with an inferior wall myocardial infarction of unknown age and a graded exercise test using the Bruce protocol was consistent with inferolateral ischemia. Subsequent cardiac catheterization showed severe, inoperable, three-vessel coronary artery disease. Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in PWS has been documented only once in the literature, and then only postmortem. This case provides further (and for the first time, premortem) documentation that premature atherosclerotic coronary artery disease may play an important but presently unrecognized role in the morbidity and mortality in PWS.
