Case Report - Isolated liver abscesses in melioidosis
Melioidosis is a suppurative chronic infection caused by a
gramnegative bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei . We report two
patients who presented with isolated liver abscesses caused by this
pathogen. Both patients presented with high-grade fever and abdominal
pain. On examination they were toxic and had tender hepatomegaly.
Investigations showed leucocytosis and a shift to the left. Early
diagnosis of melioidosis was made by culture and growth of Burkholderia
pseudomallei from aspirated pus from the abscesses and the patients
were treated with ceftazidime and co-trimoxazole. Despite institution
of antibiotics both the patients succumbed to their illness.
Melioidosis is an emerging infection in the Indian subcontinent and can
cause isolated liver abscesses
