BACKGROUND Burkholderia pseudomallei is endemic in northern Australia, and melioidosis is a common cause of sepsis in the region. METHODS We summarized the cutaneous manifestations of melioidosis from a prospective cohort of 486 patients with culture-confirmed melioidosis in northern Australia, and we compared those who had primary skin melioidosis with those who had other forms of melioidosi...

Objectives Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is prevalent in rural areas of Malaysia. The aim this study to delineate the epidemiology and predictors mortality from melioidosis Kapit district, Sarawak. Methods For retrospective patients with culture-confirmed admitted Hospital, Sarawak, Malaysia, between July 2016 2019, epidemiological, clinical microbiological data were obtaine...

BACKGROUND Melioidosis, caused by bioterror treat agent Burkholderia pseudomallei, is an important cause of community-acquired Gram-negative sepsis in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. New insights into the pathogenesis of melioidosis may help improve treatment and decrease mortality rates from this dreadful disease. We hypothesized that changes in Von Willebrand factor (VWF) function shou...

Abstract Melioidosis is a public health problem in the tropical regions, occurring to meteorological variability. For 10 years of melioidosis outbreaks, we create probability maps distribution during 2009–2018 and determine association with factors. The monthly average rainfall incidence were high from July September but they not significantly associated (P = 0.576). However, maximum minimum te...

The worldwide epidemiology of melioidosis is changing. We describe a case of acute melioidosis in Spain in a patient who had traveled to Africa. A novel sequence type of Burkholderia pseudomallei was identified in this patient. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of melioidosis in travelers returning from melioidosis-nonendemic regions.

Background: Melioidosis is a fatal, but preventable communicable disease that endemic in several parts of the world, including state Sabah, Malaysia, which located northern part Borneo Island. Flooding one most regular natural disasters affecting some Sabah. The main aim this study was to determine if rainfall and floods were significant risk factors contributing substantial burden melioidosis ...

Melioidosis is a disease of humans and animals which caused by motile Gram-negative bacilli, Burkholderia pseudomallei. Clinical presentation melioidosis can vary according to the site infection it mimic various other diseases. Central nervous system (CNS) rare but has high mortality rate. A index clinical suspicion, early diagnosis, prompt antibiotic treatment are important for better outcome....

Melioidosis is a potentially fatal infectious disease caused by the environmental anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus Burkholderia pseudomallei. Melioidosis is endemic to areas of northern Australia and Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam [1]. B. pseudomallei dwells in soil andwater, and is transmitted via percutaneous inoculation, inhalation, or the ingestion...

introduction melioidosis is a rapidly fatal infectious disease caused by burkholderia pseudomallei, an agent of potential biothreat, endemic in several parts of india. most melioidosis-induced infected aneurysms are located in the abdominal or thoracic aorta. case presentation we reported two unusual cases of melioidosis resulting in pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta. in both case...

To identify potential biomarkers for improving diagnosis of melioidosis, we compared plasma metabolome profiles of melioidosis patients compared to patients with other bacteremia and controls without active infection, using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the metabolom...
