Editing Glanders (section)

==Presentation==
Signs of glanders include the formation of [[nodule (medicine)|nodular]] [[lesion]]s in the lungs and [[ulcer]]ation of the [[mucous membrane]]s in the [[respiratory tract|upper respiratory tract]]. The '''acute form''' of glanders results in coughing, fever, and the release of an infectious nasal [[mucus|discharge]], followed by [[sepsis|septicaemia]] and death within days. In the '''chronic form''' of glanders, nasal and [[subcutaneous tissue|subcutaneous]] nodules develop, eventually ulcerating; death can occur within months, while survivors act as carriers.
