  • Title: A Fatal Case Of Persistent Burkholderia Pseudomallei Bacteraemia With Severe Pneumonia And Splenic Abscess.
    Author: Chang CY, Lee HL.
    Journal: J Ayub Med Coll Abbottabad; 2023; 35(2):331-333. PubMed ID: 37422833.
    Abstract:
    Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes melioidosis. Melioidosis is a potentially fatal disease that is endemic in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia and is being increasingly recognized in other regions worldwide. Melioidosis can affect any organ system and present with a wide range of clinical manifestations including pneumonia, bone, skin/soft tissue, or central nervous system infections. In this report, we describe a diabetic farmer who succumbed to persistent B. pseudomallei bacteraemia with multiorgan involvement despite treatment with meropenem and ceftazidime.
