“…It is documented that most patients with infected mycotic aneurysm secondary to melioidosis are male and aged 60 years [1,2,12,19]. Similarly, in our case series, the ages of eight subjects ranged from 48 to 69, with a median age of 61.5 years, all were indigenous males, and two [24], Case 12-14 [25], Case 15 [26], Case 16 [3], Case 17 [27], Case 18 [28], Case 19 [29], Case 20 [30], Case 21 [31], Case 22 [19], Case 23-24 [6], and Case 25-26 [10], Case 27 [52], Case 28 [18], Case 29 [32], Case 30 [33], Case 31 [41], Case 32 [35], Case 33 [36], Case 34 [8] Case 35 [37], Case36 [38], Case37 [39], and Case38 [40].…”

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, endemic in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia, and increasingly recognized in southern China, especially in Hainan Province. Mycotic aneurysm caused by B. pseudomallei is a rare but potentially severe illness with a high mortality rate. The clinical features of the mycotic aneurysm secondary to melioidosis have not been illustrated in China. Over a seven-year period (2013 to 2019), 159 patients with bacteremic melioidosis were retrospectively analyzed in Hainan province, China, of whom eight patients were confirmed to have mycotic aneurysm through the combination of imaging examination, pathologic examination and aneurysm tissue culture. We summarized these eight patients' clinical characteristics, demographical features, treatments and outcomes. The susceptibilities to five commonly-used antibiotics for these eight B. pseudomallei isolates were also determined by E-test strips. Furthermore, the mycotic aneurysm cases secondary to melioidosis retrieved from the literature were also reviewed. Of the eight cases, six had abdominal mycotic aneurysms, one had a left iliac aneurysm, and the other one had an infectious mesenteric aneurysm. They were aged from 48 to 69 years old, and had the underlying risk factors of diabetes mellitus (2 patients), long-term smoking (4 patients), hypertension (6 patients), and soil and water contact history (6 patients), respectively. The positive arterial aneurysm imaging was observed in all patients via computed tomography (CT) or angiography. Eight B. pseudomallei isolates collected from both blood and mycotic aneurysm tissues remained 100% susceptible to imipenem and ceftazidime. After surgery combined with antibiotic administration, six patients survived, with a mortality rate of 25%. In melioidosis endemic areas, the mycotic aneurysm secondary to melioidosis might be underdiagnosed, and increased awareness of predisposing risk factors and clinical features of the mycotic aneurysm is required. Following a positive B. pseudomallei blood culture, the diagnosis of mycotic aneurysm should be under consideration in PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES

“…Infected aneurysm is a rare presentation of melioidosis, found in no more than 1% of the cases and associated with high morbidity, mortality and relapse 1 2. As for the other causes of infected aneurysms, the aorta is the most common location,3 but middle-size vessels like femoral or iliac3 4 or the coronary arteries5 can also be affected. Aortic aneurysm secondary to melioidosis is commonly revealed by abdominal and/or low back pain 6.…”

Infected aneurysm after returning from Southeast Asia: thinkBurkholderia pseudomallei!

Melioidosis is a protean disease which is endemic to Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Here, we report a case of infected aortic aneurysm due to Burkholderia pseudomallei in an immunocompetent man 6 months after a trip to northern Malaysia. This patient initially received inappropriate surgical and antibiotic treatment, leading to a peri-prosthetic aortic infection with lumbar spondylitis and contiguous psoas muscle abscess. This case highlights the difficulty of diagnosing melioidosis given its diverse clinical manifestations and the limits of routine microbiological methods to identify B. pseudomallei. Melioidosis should be considered a possible diagnosis in individuals with unexplained fever subsequent to travel in an endemic area.
