Popis: To the Editor: Melioidosis, a potentially fatal infectious disease, occurs predominantly across much of Asia and in northern Australia because of the soil and water bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei (1). We report 2 related cases of suppurative cervical lymphadenitis, an unusual adult presentation of melioidosis, in 2 men who returned to France from Vietnam on the same trip (2).
