Co-infection of melioidosis and leptospirosis is uncommon. We report here four such cases, confirmed by blood culture for melioidosis and blood polymerase-chain reaction for leptospirosis, which occurred among rescuers involved in a search and rescue operation for a young man who was suspected to have drowned in Lubuk Yu, a recreational forest in Pahang, Malaysia. Despite treatment, three of the patients died from the co-infection.
类鼻疽和钩端螺旋体病的合并感染并不常见。我们在此报告了四起此类病例,这些病例通过血液培养确诊为类鼻疽,通过血液聚合酶链反应确诊为钩端螺旋体病,这些病例发生在参与搜救一名疑似在马来西亚彭亨州的一处休闲森林鲁布尤(Lubuk Yu)溺水的年轻男子的救援人员中。尽管进行了治疗,但其中三名患者仍死于合并感染。
