Burkholderia pseudomallei is an important cause of sepsis in certain parts of Asia and northern Australia. It usually causes abscess in the lungs, liver, spleen, skeletal muscle and parotids, especially in patients who are immunocompromised. In India, musculoskeletal melioidosis has rarely been reported. We report such a case with septic arthritis of the knee, diagnosed on the basis of a positive pus culture. After being treated by arthrotomy and surgical debridement followed by a combination of intravenous ceftazidime (acute phase = three weeks) and oral doxycycline and co-trimoxazole (eradication phase = five weeks) for two months, the patient recovered completely with no recurrence.

假性伯克霍尔德氏菌引起的膝部感染性关节炎：一例报告。

在亚洲和澳大利亚北部的某些地区，假性伯克霍尔德菌是引起败血症的重要原因。它通常会在肺，肝，脾，骨骼肌和腮腺引起脓肿，尤其是在免疫功能低下的患者中。在印度，鲜有肌肉骨骼类me虫病的报道。我们报告了根据脓性培养阳性诊断为膝部感染性关节炎的病例。经过关节切开术和外科清创术，然后静脉注射头孢他啶（急性期= 3周）和口服强力霉素和复方新诺明（消炎期= 5周）相结合治疗两个月后，患者完全康复，无复发。
