We report two atypical presentations of melioidosis as mediastinal lymphadenitis and prostatic abscess with Burkholderia pseudomallei, the emerging category 2 organism which led to diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma and thereby, delay in appropriate management. Any similar presentation should always be supported by microbiological opinion without any delay, which can help in instituting proper antibiotics with successful outcome.
我们报告了两例类鼻疽病的非典型表现,分别为纵隔淋巴结炎和前列腺脓肿,病原体为类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌,这一新兴的2类病原体导致了诊断和治疗困境,进而延误了恰当的处理。任何类似表现都应立即寻求微生物学意见,这有助于使用恰当的抗生素并取得成功的治疗效果。
