• TITLE: Melioidosis, a Rare Cause of Infective Endocarditis: A Case Report

  AUTHORS: Chun Kiat Ng, Anuradha P. Radhakrishnan

  ABSTRACT: Burkholderia pseudomallei is an unusual causative organism of infective endocarditis. We present a case of Melioidosis mitral valve endocarditis with dissemination to the liver and kidney in a young woman with underlying SLE with lupus nephritis. Despite the delay in reaching a diagnosis, the patient was successfully treated with intravenous Ceftazidime and oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and was discharged well. The identification of the specific aetiologic organism is important for timely diagnosis as well as treatment of infective endocarditis.
