Infection with the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei can cause melioidosis, a potentially life-threatening disease. As a facultative intracellular pathogen, it poses challenges for treatment and demands long-term follow-up. Neck abscesses caused by Burkholderia are rare, but it is essential to consider their possibility, as prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes and preventing complications. We report three cases of neck abscesses that were treated.
