Melioidosis, a severe infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei that is prevalent in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia, has been sporadically reported in Brazil since 2003. We report a case of aortic aneurysm with blood culture positive for B. pseudomallei. The phylogenetic analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA showed this isolate to be evolutionarily grouped with the MSHR346 strains from Thailand.
类鼻疽病是由伯克霍尔德菌引起的严重传染病,流行于东南亚和澳大利亚北部,自 2003 年以来巴西也有散发病例报告。我们报告了一例血培养阳性的类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌致主动脉瘤病例。16S 核糖体 DNA 的系统发育分析显示,该分离株与来自泰国的 MSHR346 菌株进化相关。
