The incidence of melioidosis in Singapore decreased during 1998-2007, with the exception of the first quarter of 2004. After heavy rainfalls, an increase in pneumonic cases with a high case-fatality rate was detected. We show that melioidosis has the potential to reemerge following adverse climate events.
在 1998 年至 2007 年间,新加坡的类鼻疽发病率有所下降,但 2004 年第一季度除外。在暴雨之后,我们发现有更多具有高病死率的肺炎病例出现。我们的研究表明,类鼻疽在不良气候事件后有重新出现的可能。
