Both tuberculosis and melioidosis are commonly encountered infectious diseases in South East Asia. However, these conditions occur commonly in isolation, cases of coinfection of<jats:italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>Burkholderia pseudomallei<\/jats:italic>are rare. These cases report of the isolation of both organisms concomitantly in a single disease site. We report the first case of concomitant infection at distinct noncontiguous sites.<jats:italic>Patient Concerns<\/jats:italic>. A 64-year-old man, with chronic alcohol consumption, presented with a month long history of left-sided abdominal pain, as well as significant weight loss and fever prior to the onset of abdominal pain.<jats:italic>Diagnosis<\/jats:italic>. Disseminated tuberculosis with pulmonary and gastrointestinal involvement and a splenic abscess due to melioidosis.<jats:italic>Interventions<\/jats:italic>. The patient was treated concomitantly for pulmonary and gastrointestinal tuberculosis, as well as a splenic abscess due to melioidosis.<jats:italic>Outcomes<\/jats:italic>. The patient is reported to be well, with resolution of symptoms, as well as radiological resolution of the splenic abscess.<jats:italic>Lessons<\/jats:italic>. Both melioidosis and tuberculosis can present with a similar clinical picture, and coinfections are rare. Hence, increased awareness among clinicians and microbiologists can help in diagnosing both diseases even when it is not clinically apparent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/9818129","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,4]],"date-time":"2020-01-04T23:30:53Z","timestamp":1578180653000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Tuberculosis and Melioidosis at Distinct Sites Occurring Simultaneously"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7870-2879","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Seow Yen","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, Changi General Hospital, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejmra1204699"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(06)68384-0"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2334-13-527"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s1015-9584(09)60147-0"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/1817-1737.62476"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215109004460"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.phrp.2015.10.014"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0000900"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/tropicalmed3010031"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0005182"},{"issue":"9","key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"749","DOI":"10.47102\/annals-acadmedsg.V37N9p749","volume":"37","year":"2008","journal-title":"Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Infectious Diseases"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2020\/9818129.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2020\/9818129.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2020\/9818129.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,24]],"date-time":"2023-09-24T18:43:05Z","timestamp":1695580985000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2020\/9818129\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,4]]},"references-count":11,"alternative-id":["9818129","9818129"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2020\/9818129","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6625","2090-6633"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6625","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6633","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,4]]}}}
