Melioidosis is known to present with many diverse manifestations but orbital cellulitis from melioidosis has never been described. We report a case of melioidosis in a 42-year-old diabetic male who presented with orbital cellulitis. He succumbed to recurrent empyema of the paranasal sinuses, rupture of an intracranial mycotic aneurysm and pulmonary empyema despite early antibiotic treatment.
类鼻疽病有多种不同的表现,但类鼻疽病引起的眼眶蜂窝织炎此前从未有过描述。我们报告一例42岁糖尿病男性类鼻疽病患者,该患者表现为眼眶蜂窝织炎。尽管早期进行了抗生素治疗,但他仍死于复发性鼻窦积脓、颅内真菌性动脉瘤破裂和肺积脓。
