To differentiate cavitary lung lesions caused by melioidosis and tuberculosis is challenging, especially in endemic countries. A study with a matched-sampling method (16 cavitary pulmonary melioidosis 16 cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis) showed characteristics of bacterial infection more obvious and severe in the melioidosis patients, which were useful to distinguish two conditions.
要区分由类鼻疽和结核引起的空洞性肺部病变具有挑战性，特别是在流行地区。一项采用匹配抽样方法（16 例空洞性肺类鼻疽 16 例空洞性肺结核）的研究表明，类鼻疽患者的细菌感染特征更为明显和严重，有助于区分这两种情况。
