The presenting symptoms were fever of varying duration (range 15 days to 2 months). Altered sensorium was noted in five patients. Four cases had brain abscess, one had meningitis, and one had a spinal epidural abscess. All cases of brain abscesses were T2 hyperintense with an irregular wall showing central diffusion restriction and irregular peripheral enhancement. The trigeminal nucleus was involved in one patient, but there was no enhancement of the trigeminal nerve. Extension along the white matter tract was noted in two patients. Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy done in two patients showed increased lipid\/lactate and choline peak in both of them.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Melioidosis can present as multiple micro-abscesses in the brain.
