Abstract

We report a rare case of latent melioidosis activation in a patient with a distant travel history to an endemic region. Melioidosis is an infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei which is highly endemic in Southeast Asia and northern Australia. The patient exhibited common clinical risk factors, presenting with urinary tract infection and bacteremia. The treatment course was complicated by the adverse effect of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. This case underscores the importance of early detection and appropriate treatment of melioidosis, particularly given its expanding global distribution.

以尿路感染和菌血症为表现的潜伏美拉德氏病激活症
我们报告了一例罕见的潜伏美拉德氏病激活病例,患者曾远途到流行地区旅行。美拉德氏病是一种由假马来伯克霍尔德氏菌(Burkholderia pseudomallei)引起的感染,在东南亚和澳大利亚北部高度流行。患者具有常见的临床风险因素,表现为尿路感染和菌血症。三甲双胍/磺胺甲噁唑的不良反应使治疗过程变得复杂。本病例强调了早期发现和适当治疗美拉西酮病的重要性,尤其是考虑到其在全球的分布范围正在不断扩大。
