Case Report: Vagal Nerve Neuritis Associated with Pulmonary Melioidosis Provides Potential Insights into the Pathophysiology of Neuromelioidosis.

Encephalomyelitis is the most frequent manifestation of neuromelioidosis in Australia. It is hypothesized that Burkholderia pseudomallei causes encephalomyelitis after entering the brain directly, if complicating a scalp infection, or after traveling to the brain within peripheral or cranial nerves. A 76-year-old man presented with fever, dysphonia, and hiccups.
