Most of the infections caused by this facultative intracellular gram-negative bacterium are pneumonia, soft tissue, genito-urinary and central nervous system infection. We report an unusual case of primary prostatic abscess complicated by perianal abscess caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Melioidosis related anorectal infections have not been previously reported in the literature.Copyright © 2018 | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.idcr.2018.01.001 | ISSN: | 2214-2509 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/37635 | Type: | Article | Type of Clinical Study or Trial: | Case series or case report |
