Abstract
This editorial is a commentary on the article by Ni et al, which was published in the World Journal of Clinical Cases. The article discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of melioidosis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. The case study highlights a rare instance of multisystemic melioidosis in a female patient who did not have a travel history, emphasizing the significance of recognizing this condition in non-endemic regions. Diagnostic complexities and therapeutic strategies are addressed, emphasizing the need for heightened clinical suspicion, comprehensive evaluation, and multidisciplinary collaboration. The editorial delves into the clinical presentation, diagnostic dilemmas, therapeutic approaches, and their implications for patient care in managing multi-systemic melioidosis.
Core Tip: Multi-systemic melioidosis poses diagnostic challenges, especially in non-endemic regions, necessitating a comprehensive approach involving clinical vigilance, microbiological confirmation, imaging, and tailored antibiotic therapy. Timely recognition and multidisciplinary management are essential for optimizing outcomes in affected patients.
