Clinical patterns of infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei are generally consistent with those from South and Southeast Asia interms of common primary presentations with diabetes as a major risk factor. Early diagnosis and appropriate management is a key limiting factor, which needs to be addressed to reduce serious complications and high mortality and recurrence rates. Promoting awareness among the local healthcare personnel is crucial to improving diagnostics and early treatment, as well as educating the public on disease symptoms and risk factors.
