Article Synopsis
- Melioidosis is a rare but serious infection found mainly in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia, often leading to severe complications if not treated promptly.
- A 62-year-old diabetic man developed epilepsy due to a melioidosis infection after a head injury, requiring a surgical procedure to remove an abscess and subsequently treated with antibiotics, leading to full recovery.
