    Abstract Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, mostly affecting patients in Southeast Asia and northern Australia. The disease has been increasingly recognized around the world due to the increased levels of travel and population movement. Clinical manifestations of melioidosis range from fulminant septicemic illness to an indolent local infection. The disease often involves multiple organs, including the lung, spleen, liver, and other visceral organs. Musculoskeletal infection is usually seen as a part of multiorgan involvement, but localized musculoskeletal involvement may occur. The most common manifestation of musculoskeletal melioidosis is septic arthritis, followed by osteomyelitis, pyomyositis, and soft tissue abscesses. The clinical and radiological manifestations of musculoskeletal melioidosis are nonspecific, and the diagnosis needs a high level of suspicion. Associated infection of lungs and visceral organs is suggestive of melioidosis. The disease requires special laboratory facilities and treatment. Inappropriate or inadequate treatment leads to high mortality rate or long-term relapse of the disease. The causative organism of melioidosis, clinical manifestations, and imaging features of musculoskeletal melioidosis are reviewed.

    Abstract A 33-year-old man presented with a painless, non-growing left testicular mass for five years. Preoperative ultrasonography (US) of the scrotum showed a small, circumscribed calcific mass in the right testis and another well-defined heterogeneous echoic mass with a partially calcified wall in the left testis, with avascularity on colour Doppler US. These imaging findings in a clinical setting of non-growing testicular masses were highly suggestive of epidermoid cysts, thus leading to testis sparing surgery. Histopathology confirmed bilateral epidermoid cysts. To the best of our knowledge, only 15 cases of bilateral epidermoid cysts have been reported. We discuss the US features of epidermoid cyst and its surgical management, as well as various cases of testicular masses.

    Abstract In musculoskeletal infections, imaging helps in the diagnosis and identification of disease extent. Musculoskeletal infections have variable clinical presentations related to host immune responses and virulence of pathogens. Occasionally, infectious process may mimic other entities such as autoimmune inflammatory diseases, tumors, or traumatic injuries, both clinically and radiologically. Identification of the disease extent is sometimes difficult, particularly when infection occurs in the damaged tissue. The key imaging feature of infection is formation of abscesses. Familiarity of the imaging patterns of the infectious process leads to correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

    Abstract The incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) has been rising due to the increasing number of immunosuppressed patients. Musculoskeletal system accounts for 25% of extrapulmonary TB. Most of the musculoskeletal TB involves the spine. TB of peripheral joints and tendons occur infrequently, but if untreated, it can cause serious joint and tendon destruction as well as spread of the infection to the surrounding bursa, muscle, and other soft tissues. The diagnosis of TB of joints and tendons is difficult due to the nonspecific clinical manifestations and imaging features. Concurrent active pulmonary TB is present in <50% of the patients. A positive chest radiographic finding or a positive tuberculin test supports the diagnosis, but negative results do not exclude diagnosis. Although imaging features of TB of joints and tendons are nonspecific, certain findings such as relatively preserved joint space, juxta-articular osteoporosis, cold abscesses, para-articular soft tissue calcification, and rice bodies are suggestive of TB infection. Familiarity with these imaging features can help in making an early diagnosis and facilitating proper management.

    Abstract Objective: To compare colour Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) and retrograde cystography in the assessment of the patency of internal ureteral stents.
    Patients and methods: Thirty-two patients with 33 internal ureteral stents were evaluated for patency of the internal ureteral stent using both CDU and retrograde cystography. Real-time ultrasonography and CDU were performed before retrograde cystography. Stent patency was defined as seeing flow from the distal end of the stent in the urinary bladder or iodinated contrast in the renal pelvis. The two investigators had no prior knowledge of the other's results. After completion of both investigations, stent patency was proved by direct inspection of the stent after removal.
    Results: Both investigations showed the same result in 27 of the 33 stents. Stent patency was found if either investigation was positive. The accuracies of retrograde cystography, CDU and both were 73%, 79% and 85%, respectively.
    Conclusions: CDU is a noninvasive method with high accuracy. Detection of flow at the distal end of the stent is helpful, but absence of flow may or may not indicate an obstructed stent and further investigation should be performed.

    Abstract Thailand is a nonendemic area of echinococcosis. We report, herein, 3 cases with a special note on the use of serology in detection of the disease in one family. All cases were Thais. The first case was a man, having a cystic mass in the liver. He was subsequently diagnosed as having echinococcosis following positive serology. The second case, a male, had a renal hydatid cyst revealed by histopathology, and a positive serological test. The third case, a wife of case 2, was positive by serological screening for echinococcosis and subsequently proven to have splenic and liver echinococcal cysts. The present findings support the use of serology in the case detection of echinococcosis in Thailand.
