Abstract

Burkholderia pseudomallei causing an isolated parotid abscess uncommon with very few reported cases. Meliodotic abscesses in the cervicofacial, head, and neck region may well be confused with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a tuberculosis-endemic country like Malaysia. Here we present a case of left-sided parotid abscess caused by B. pseudomallei.
