Imaging findings
Brain imaging showed lesions with hemorrhage. Thoracic CT revealed multiple lung nodules, some cavitating, and bilateral pleural effusions. Following treatment, a repeat CT showed residual thin-walled cavities (pneumatoceles).
Key takeaways
Melioidosis can present with varied manifestations, including brain lesions and widespread cavitating lung nodules, often associated with pleural effusions. It requires long-term antibiotic therapy, and residual pneumatoceles can be seen post-treatment.
