Abstract
Summary Melioidosis is a rare tropical disease caused by infection with the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. It occurs predominantly in south‐east Asia, northern and central Australia and central and south America. Patients often present to the internal medicine physicians with a severe, potentially fatal sepsis. We report three patients who presented to our dermatology department with cutaneous melioidosis.
