Abstract

We report two cases of pediatric melioidosis. Both presented with erythema nodosum (EN) on the lower limbs. They both resided in an endemic region for this condition, and a presumptive diagnosis was made by high indirect hemagglutination assay titers of > 5,120 in both. Before this, there has been no recorded association between melioidosis and EN.
