Abstract
The timely identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei is important to optimize the clinical management of the frequently lethal conditions it causes (1) and to prevent laboratory-acquired infections.
A 53-year-old fisherman from Da Nang, Vietnam, presented to an Australian hospital with a ruptured mycotic aortic aneurysm between the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. Past history was significant for type 2 diabetes mellitus and untreated chronic hepatitis B infection.
