A serological study was performed to determine recent human exposure to Burkholderia pseudomallei (the cause of melioidosis) in residents of southern Thailand affected by the tsunami of 26 December 2004. The findings were suggestive of increased recent exposure in both tsunami survivors and uninjured bystanders. Survivors of the Thailand tsunami may be at increased risk of melioidosis.
进行了一项血清学研究,以确定2004年12月26日受海啸影响的泰国南部居民近期感染类鼻疽杆菌(类鼻疽病的病原体)的情况。研究结果表明,海啸幸存者和未受伤的旁观者近期感染该病菌的情况均有所增加。泰国海啸的幸存者可能感染类鼻疽病的风险更高。
