Central nervous system (CNS) melioidosis is rare. However, delayed diagnosis and treatment could lead to fatality. To identify knowledge of CNS melioidosis, we systematically review case reports and case series.We searched through PubMed, Web of Science and Burkholderia pseudomallei infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is rare with less than 50 cases reported over the last 30 years. The retrospective melioidosis study at University Malaya Medical Centre has documented three cases of CNS melioidosis out of more than 160 cases of melioidosis
