Double trouble - <i>Burkholderia cepacia</i> infection in a patient with a malignant cavitary lesion

Burkholderia cepacia is typically a pathogenic microorganism that tends to infect immunocompromised or hospitalized patients. It is also linked with infections in patients with cystic fibrosis and underlying structural lung diseases. Here, we report a rare case of Burkholderia cepacia infection in a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patient with a malignant cavitary lesion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of such a presentation.
