One patient was born and bred in Nhulunbuy, Arnhem Land, while the other had moved there 6 months previously from Townsville, Queensland. Both patients were presented with sudden onset of a \u2018red eye\u2019 and blepharospasm, which progressed to an enlarged, painful, firm globe with loss of pupillary light reflexes and vision. An obvious primary focus of infection outside the eye was not detected in either cat. In both patients, the affected eye was surgically removed and vitreal culture revealed a pure growth of Burkholderia pseudomallei. In each instance, the infection had penetrated the sclera to produce retrobulbar cellulitis, and in one case frank retrobulbar abscessation. Histologically, there was a pyogranulomatous uveitis with extensive destruction of intraocular structures. The first case was still alive approximately 1 year following enucleation and limited antimicrobial therapy using amoxicillin clavulanate and doxycycline. The second was euthanased when a localised abscess developed on the same side of the face as the healed surgical incision, despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Both cases were caused by the same multilocus sequence type of B pseudomallei (ST 116), which had only been isolated previously from two human patients, both living in the same isolated geographical area as the cats of this report. Apart from the geographical clustering, no epidemiological links were evident between the two cats and\/or the two people. The presumptive pathogenesis of these infections is discussed in relation to current knowledge about melioidosis in northern Australia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2009.02.009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,10]],"date-time":"2009-05-10T05:17:46Z","timestamp":1241932666000},"page":"856-863","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Primary ocular melioidosis due to a single genotype of Burkholderia pseudomallei in two cats from Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Helen M.","family":"Parkes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Gove Vet Clinic, PO Box 1030, Nhulunbuy, Northern Territory 0881, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine M.","family":"Shilton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Berrimah Veterinary Laboratories, Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries, Darwin, Northern Territory 0801, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ian V.","family":"Jerrett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Berrimah Veterinary Laboratories, Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries, Darwin, Northern Territory 0801, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suresh","family":"Benedict","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Berrimah Veterinary Laboratories, Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries, Darwin, Northern Territory 0801, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian G.","family":"Spratt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Imperial College London, England, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Godoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Imperial College London, England, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carolyn R.","family":"O'Brien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne, Werribee, Victoria 3030, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark B.","family":"Krockenberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Science, Building B14, The University of Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Mayo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tropical and Emerging Infectious Diseases Division, Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University, Northern Territory 0811, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bart J.","family":"Currie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tropical and Emerging Infectious Diseases Division, Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University, Northern Territory 0811, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Malik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Science, Building B14, The University of Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia, Centre for Veterinary Education, Building B22, The University of Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia \u00a0r.malik@vetc.usyd.edu.au"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/clinids\/11.3.413"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(03)13374-0"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.18.2.383-416.2005"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0001-706X(99)00071-6"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0001-706X(99)00065-0"},{"key":"atypb6","unstructured":"O'Brien\u00a0C.R.,Greene\u00a0C.E.Infectious Diseases of the Dog and Cat. 3rd ednGreene\u00a0C.E., ed.
