Abstract
We report a 64-year-old man presenting with meningitis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei predisposed by persistent aortic graft infection following inadequate treatment of a melioidotic mycotic aneurysm. The relapse of melioidosis presenting as acute meningitis is a unique event. Successful treatment of deep-seated melioidosis can only be achieved when robust antimicrobial therapy is combined with appropriate surgical debridement.Entities:
