Melioidosis is thought to be endemic, although underdiagnosed, in Africa. We identified 5 autochthonous cases of Burkholderia pseudomallei infection in a case series in Kenya. Incidence of B. pseudomallei bacteremia in Kenya's Kilifi County is low, at 1.5 cases per million person-years, but this result might be an underestimate.
据认为，尽管在非洲漏诊情况严重，但类鼻疽仍为地方性疾病。我们在肯尼亚的一系列病例中发现了 5 例本地感染伯克霍尔德菌假单胞菌的病例。肯尼亚基利菲县的伯克霍尔德菌菌血症发病率较低，为每百万人每年 1.5 例，但这一结果可能被低估了。
