Melioidosis from Pseudomonas pseudomallei is common in endemic areas (particularly southeast Asia) and is being recognized with increasing frequency in developed countries. Central nervous system involvement is a rare complication with a high mortality. A patient with multiple cerebral abscesses caused by this organism is presented to demonstrate that successful treatment is possible when a high index of clinical suspicion leads to early diagnosis. |
