Melioidosis, Singapore, 2003–2014

摘要

In contrast with northern Australia and Thailand, in Singapore the incidence of melioidosis and co-incidence of melioidosis and pneumonia have declined. Burkholderia pseudomallei deep abscesses increased 20.4 during 2003–2014. These trends could not be explained by the environmental and climatic factors conventionally ascribed to melioidosis.
