We present a case of chronic calcific pancreatitis with diabetes mellitus who presented with multifocal liver and splenic abscesses which were found to be a coinfection of Entamoeba histolytica and Burkholderia pseudomallei. The existence of concurrent infection by two such unrelated organisms provides an example of the enigma of infections in areas of decreased host resistance.
