Mycotic aneurysm due to Burkholderia pseudomallei infection: case reports and literature review.
Clin Infect Dis. 2005 Jan 01; 40(1):193-8.CI

Abstract

Melioidosis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei infection is endemic in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Cardiovascular complications resulting in mycotic aneurysms are very rare. To our knowledge, there have only been 6 isolated case reports published in the literature to date. We report 6 cases of melioidosis in Singapore that presented as aortic aneurysms.
