Abstract
Two cases of granulomatous osteomyelitis caused by melioidosis are reported. Histologically, the granulomatous lesions were indistinguishable from tuberculosis and required confirmation with microbiological culture. It is important that melioidosis be considered in the differential diagnosis of granulomatous osteomyelitis since the treatment is quite different from tuberculosis.
