Abstract
Endocarditis from melioidosis is rarely reported; only 14 cases have been reported in the literature. We present a fatal case of native aortic valve endocarditis due to Burkholderia pseudomallei complicated by embolic stroke and subdural empyema that occurred in a traveler who returned from Thailand to the United States.
