Though melioidosis has been reported since 1912, it is still a new problem for most Chinese physicians and medical scientists. Because of the lack of understanding and clinical experiences in melioidosis, none had been reported until 1990 in the mainland of China. In view of China's open policy and health work the natural foci of Pseudomonas pseudomallei in South China, ie. Hainan, Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces, should be given sufficient concern. Efforts should be made in training physicians in the endemic areas to improve their knowledge about the disease and to avoid misdiagnosis.
尽管自1912年以来就有类鼻疽的报道，但对大多数中国医生和医学科学家来说，它仍然是一个新问题。由于对类鼻疽缺乏了解和临床经验，直到1990年中国大陆才首次有病例报道。鉴于中国的开放政策和卫生工作，中国南方（即海南、广东和广西）的类鼻疽自然疫源地应得到足够重视。应努力培训疫区的医生，以提高他们对该病的认识并避免误诊。
