摘要

We welcome the short report of Suntornsut and others, which reminds us of melioidosis, an emerging and potentially fatal infection in Southeast Asia and other regions.1 Burkholderia pseudomallei might provoke a large variety of symptoms and mimic tuberculosis (TB). Misdiagnosis may delay initiation of adequate treatment and increase the risk for a severe outcome. Among 118 enrolled patients with acid-fast bacilli smear-negative suspected pulmonary TB, three were sputum culture positive for B. pseudomallei. This result enabled the lives of two patients to be saved. We agree that systematic search for an alternative diagnosis for suspected smear-negative pulmonary TB is a crucial issue.
