title: CT findings in melioidosis.
abstract: CT findings in 5 patients with melioidosis were presented. Lungs lesions consisted of upper lobe infiltration with a small thin-walled cavity in 2 cases and lower lobe consolidation without cavity in another case. Pleural lesions may be seen as a small pleural nodule, effusion with associated lung lesion, hydropneumothorax as a complication or the end stage fibrothorax due to chronic empyema thoracis. In one case hepatosplenic microabscesses were observed.
