Abstract

Melioidosis has not been recognized previously in Laos, but within months of starting a prospective study of community acquired septicemia in Vientiane, 2 patients with melioidosis were identified. One was a previously healthy, 44-year-old female rice farmer who presented with supraclavicular lymphadenitis and the other was a 74-year-old man with diabetes and renal calculi who was receiving corticosteroids and had septicemia and septic arthritis.

摘要

类鼻疽此前在老挝尚未得到确诊，但在万象启动一项关于社区获得性败血症的前瞻性研究后的几个月内，确诊了2例类鼻疽患者。其中1例是一名44岁的健康女性稻农，表现为锁骨上淋巴结炎；另1例是一名74岁男性，患有糖尿病和肾结石，正在接受皮质类固醇治疗，出现败血症和化脓性关节炎。
