Cutaneous melioidosis: two cases of chronic primary forms

Abstract

Melioidosis is a bacterial infection due to Burkholderia pseudomallei. Systemic forms are well described and characterized by a high lethality rate up to 40% (1). In contrast cutaneous melioidosis (CM) is rarely described. CM can be primary and present either as acute or chronic forms, or secondary in case of generalized disease.
