Melioidosis is caused by the gram-negative bacillus , endemic to northern Australia and Southeast Asia. We present a patient who traveled to Mexico, returned to the United States, and developed progressive manifestations of melioidosis, culminating as central nervous system disease. Standard therapy was contraindicated, and a prolonged intensive phase was employed.
类鼻疽由革兰氏阴性杆菌引起，在澳大利亚北部和东南亚地区呈地方性流行。我们报告了一名前往墨西哥、返回美国后出现类鼻疽进行性症状，最终发展为中枢神经系统疾病的患者。标准疗法不适用，因此采用了延长的强化治疗阶段。
