We report a case of Pseudomonas pseudomallei infection, in which the patient acquired the bacteria by aspiration of river water after a drowning incident near Manila, the Philippines. The pulmonary form of melioidosis was noted at the onset, but septicemia developed at a later stage. Positive blood cultures were obtained 17 days after the accident. The patient was treated successfully with a combination of amikacin and cephalothin. This is the first report of P. pseudomallei infection documented in Taiwan.
我们报告一例类鼻疽假单胞菌感染病例，该患者在菲律宾马尼拉附近溺水后吸入河水而感染此细菌。疾病初期表现为类鼻疽的肺部感染形式，但后期发展为败血症。事故发生17天后血培养呈阳性。患者联合使用阿米卡星和头孢噻吩治疗成功。这是台湾地区首例记录在案的类鼻疽假单胞菌感染报告。
