Abstract
Osteomyelitis of Parietal Bone in Melioidosis
Highlights
To the Editor: In Europe and the United States, melioidosis is a rare disease, with no cases reported far from Slovenia. It is a relatively common disease in certain areas of Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Fatal, this disease is caused by the gram-negative bacillus Burkholderia pseudomallei, an environmental organism found in the soil and water of disease-endemic areas
We describe a case of melioidosis in a previously healthy, 40-year-old Slovenian man
A single report of parietal bone osteomyelitis was found in the literature; it was connected to a cerebral abscess due to hematogenous dissemination [10]
