Reports of melioidosis in residents of European countries are rare. We describe a case of reactivation of latent melioidosis in a United Kingdom resident. The case demonstrates the lack of clinical response to chemotherapy despite proven in vitro sensitivity of the organism to the drugs used. It is important to consider melioidosis as a cause of septicaemic illness in patients who have travelled to, or been resident in South-East Asia.
欧洲国家居民感染类鼻疽的报告很少。我们描述了一例英国居民潜伏性类鼻疽复发的病例。该病例表明，尽管经证实该病原体在体外对所用药物敏感，但化疗仍缺乏临床反应。对于去过东南亚或居住在东南亚的患者，将类鼻疽视为败血症病因很重要。
