Burkholderia pseudomallei has rarely been isolated from environmental and clinical specimens in South America, particularly, in Brazil. This report describes a case of melioidosis with fulminant sepsis in a 10 year old boy, from rural area, in Tejuçuoca, State of Ceará, Brazil. Blood samples were positive and, through the analysis of results from biochemical tests and of drugs susceptibility profile, identified this gram-negative bacillus as B. pseudomallei. The contamination source remains obscure in this case, as soil and water tanks samples submitted to microbiological analyses did not indicate the presence of B. pseudomallei.
在南美洲，特别是巴西，很少从环境和临床标本中分离出类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌。本报告描述了一名来自巴西塞阿拉州特茹索卡农村地区的10岁男孩患暴发性败血症类鼻疽的病例。血液样本呈阳性，通过生化试验结果和药敏谱分析，将这种革兰氏阴性杆菌鉴定为类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌。在该病例中，污染源仍不明确，因为提交进行微生物分析的土壤和水箱样本未显示存在类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌。
