ALBI (Albumin-Bilirubin) score is routinely used in grading liver function of hepatocarcinoma and hepatitis patients. In this purposive review, the published values of serum albumin, bilirubin in Viral hepatitis, Tuberculosis, Scrub typhus, Enteric fever has been compared with that of melioidosis. Since PubMed yielded zero searches with key words “albumin, bilirubin, melioidosis”, it was searched in Google Scholar, a better retrievable search engine. This yielded 46 relevant articles with 53 ALBI scores for Melioidosis. An equivalent search to retrieve 53 ALBI scores was made in Google Scholar for other confounding diseases of Melioidosis with search words “albumin, bilirubin, hepatitis” “albumin, bilirubin, tuberculosis”, “albumin, bilirubin, scrub typhus”, “albumin, bilirubin, enteric fever”. This raw data was deposited in Harvard dataverse (https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/QEW20J) and subsequent analysis done is documented in this article. This placed Melioidosis patients and Scrub typhus patients to be on an average grade III ALBI and the patients of Viral hepatitis, Tuberculosis, and Enteric fever in grade II ALBI. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
