description	Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, an infectious disease of humans and animals that has been documented from regions that lie 20 degree north and south of the equator. Although this agent has rarely been isolated from the Western Hemisphere, it has been found in Panama, Ecuador, Haiti, Brazil, Peru, and Guyana. Cases of melioidosis have also been reported from the Lesser Antilles; one case was reported from Aruba, and, more recently, another case was reported from Martinique. We report the third documented case of melioidosis in the Lesser Antilles and the first documented case in Guadeloupe, an archipelago of the French West Indies.
