Abstract Melioidosis is recognized as a pediatric disease in the endemic regions of tropical South East Asia and Northern Australia. Children with this potentially life-threatening infection, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, may also present in nonendemic areas, and thus awareness of the disease spectrum is important for all involved in pediatric acute care. This review discusses the epidemiology, range of clinical presentation and management of melioidosis in children. A comprehensive review of recent progress in the understanding of the pathogenesis and diagnostics of melioidosis is available elsewhere.
