摘要
Despite tuberculosis and melioidosis being endemic in many countries, coinfections are unusual. Only fourteen cases of tuberculosis melioidosis coinfections have been reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of coinfection of tuberculosis and neurologic melioidosis. We report a case of 48 year diabetic male presented with fever, headache and altered sensorium for two days. On examination, there was scalp abscess with subgaleal hematom pus culture of which grew B. pseudomallei. Sputum culture grew the same and sputum tuberculosis PCR was positive. Patient was concurrently treated for both the conditions and recovered.
