A nine-year-old girl in Dak Lak Province has been diagnosed with melioidosis or Whitmore’s disease, marking the first case in the Central Highlands region.

 

The girl, who lives in Ea Sup District, was admitted to a local hospital on Jun. 4 with symptoms of high fever and enlarged parotid glands. There was pus in her jaw and she could not open her mouth normally.

 

Test results found her positive for Burkholderia pseudomallei, the bacteria that causes Whitmore’s disease, which can infect both humans and animals.
