Melioidosis is a bacterial infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, a gram-negative saprophytic bacillus. Cases occur sporadically in the Americas with an increasing number of cases observed among people with no travel history to endemic countries. To better understand the incidence of the disease in the Americas, we reviewed the literature, including unpublished cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of 120 identified human cases, occurring between 1947 and June 2015, 95 cases (79%) were likely acquired in the Americas; the mortality rate was 39%. Burkholderia pseudomallei appears to be widespread in South, Central, and North America.
类鼻疽是由伯克霍尔德菌引起的细菌性感染，这是一种革兰氏阴性腐生杆菌。该病零星发生于美洲，且在无前往流行国家旅行史的人群中观察到的病例越来越多。为了更好地了解该病在美洲的发病情况，我们查阅了文献，包括向疾病预防控制中心报告的未发表病例。在 1947 年至 2015 年 6 月期间确定的 120 例人类病例中，95 例（79%）可能在美洲获得；死亡率为 39%。伯氏考克斯体似乎广泛存在于中美洲、南美洲和北美洲。
