Epidemiological characteristics and clinical treatment of melioidosis: a 11-year retrospective cohort study in Hainan
In Hainan Island, the prevalence of melioidosis is notably high among middle-aged male outdoor workers, exhibiting a distinct seasonal pattern with most cases occurring during the summer and autumn months. Bacteremia represents the most common form of melioidosis infection, and abnormal chest CT findings in melioidosis patients serve as a significant hint of bacteremia. Currently, the selection of antimicrobial agents for melioidosis treatment in Hainan Province generally adheres to international guidelines; however, the process requires further standardisation.
