Yuichi Katanami et al. J Infect Chemother. 2017 Apr.

Abstract

Melioidosis, an infectious disease with high mortality, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is endemic in southeast Asia and northern Australia. In Indonesia, autochthonous cases have been rarely reported, with most cases being sporadic and occurring in travelers. Herein, we report a fatal case of neurological melioidosis in a traveler from Indonesia presenting with septic shock.

Keywords: Brain abscess; Burkholderia pseudomallei; Melioidosis; Neurological melioidosis; Neutropenia.
