| Abstract: |
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a soil-dwelling aerobic bacterium prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. It is the causal organism of melioidosis, a severe infection that can manifest as chronic debilitating pneumonia resembling pulmonary tuberculosis. Here, we report a case of melioidosis, pulmonary tuberculosis, covid-19, and paragonimus coinfection in a 50-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and β-thalassemia trait. The patient recovered with intravenous antibiotics and standard anti-tuberculosis treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
