title: Burkholder meningitis.
abstract: We report two cases of Burkholder meningitis. Case 1 presented with subacute lymphocytic meningitis, low sugar profile in CSF and positive culture for Burkholder. Case 2 presented with purulent meningitis that emerged during treatment of cryptococcal meningitis which, to our knowledge, has not been reported. Thus, Burkholder should be considered as one of the etiologic agents in this clinical setting.
