Is Respiratory Viral Infection an Inciting Event in the Development of Melioidosis? A Systematic Evaluation of Co-infection With Burkholderia pseudomallei and SARS-CoV-2 or Influenza

Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Respiratory viral infection may increase infection with Burkholderia pseudomallei progressing to clinical disease (melioidosis). This data linkage study evaluated associations between melioidosis and SARS-CoV-2 or influenza. Among 160 melioidosis cases, there was no difference in risk factors, vaccine status, or disease severity between 17 with viral co-infection and 143 without.
