Serologic Evidence of Exposure to Burkholderia pseudomallei , Nigeria

Résumé fourni par la source

Melioidosis is an underreported cause of community-acquired pneumonia and sepsis in Nigeria. We conducted a cross-sectional study using a Burkholderia pseudomallei protein microarray in 500 healthy participants from Nigeria. We observed a serologic response supportive of past exposure to the causative agent of melioidosis in 30% of study participants.
