The great mimicker “Burkholderia cepacia”: A case of intra-abdominal abscesses [PDF]
Burkholderia cepacia infections are underreported and often seen in immunocompromised or cystic fibrosis patients. We describe a case of intra-abdominal abscesses and bacteraemia due to Burkholderia cepacia in a non-cystic fibrosis patient. A middle aged
