Abstract
Melioidosis is caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, a gram-negative bacillus. The bacterium is found in soil and water in endemic Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Infection is acquired through inoculation of open wounds, inhalation or ingestion. Melioidosis can affect many organs, including the prostate. However, prostatic abscess due to melioidosis is uncommon in Thailand. This is a case report of the patient who was diagnosed with prostatic abscess from computed tomography of the abdomen. He was treated with intravenous antibiotic and surgical drainage and was recovered well with oral maintenance therapy.
