Özet:

 


Melioidosis
is a potentially fatal infectious disease usually seen in, but not restricted
to the tropical areas of the world. Burkholderia
pseudomallei, a soil saprophytic bacterium are the causative agent. It can
produce latent infection and reactivate many years after initial exposure and
can have varied clinical presentations. Here we put forward an unusual yet
successfully treated case of melioidosis presenting as mycotic pseudoaneurysm
of superficial femoral artery. A 62 year old male patient came with a one and a
half month old history of swelling and pain in the left thigh. Culture of blood
and pus samples from the patient yielded Burkholderia
pseudomallei. Combinations of surgical and medical management lead to a
good outcome in the patient. J Microbiol
Infect Dis 2018; 8(4):162-164.
