We describe melioidosis associated with travel to Nigeria in a woman with diabetes, a major predisposing factor for this infection. With the prevalence of diabetes projected to increase dramatically in many developing countries, the global reach of melioidosis may expand.
我们描述了一位糖尿病女性因前往尼日利亚旅行而感染类鼻疽病的病例,糖尿病是这种感染的一个主要诱发因素。随着许多发展中国家糖尿病的患病率预计将大幅增加,类鼻疽病的全球传播范围可能会扩大。
