“…Limited evidence from Nigeria, Ghana, and Malawi suggests that bacterial antibiotic resistance is common among burn wound cultures. [21–24] Several evaluations of burn wound microbiology in middle or low-income countries outside of this region have demonstrated similar findings. [25–33] However from the published literature, the relationship between burn wound colonization with MDR bacteria and patient outcomes in LMICs is unclear.…”

“…Other cases of human melioidosis were more recently reported from Madagascar [9], Nigeria [11] and Malawi [12]. Imported cases from Africa to Europe were reported in France (country of patient origin remaining unclear) [29], Spain (imported from the Gambia [10] and Madagascar [13]) and the UK (imported from Nigeria) [30]. Most recently, the first molecular sequence typing (MLST) confirmed case of melioidosis in Central Africa was reported in a female farmer with diabetes in Gabon [20].…”

Melioidosis is a life-threatening infection caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, mainly found in Southeast Asia. Recently, African foci have been identified, although reports remain mostly anecdotal. In Africa, multiple febrile diseases have been erroneously attributed to malaria in the past, and many cases of fever remain mis- or undiagnosed. Vigilance for previously under-recognized pathogens may enhance our understanding of disease epidemiology and facilitate improvement of patient care. Melioidosis may be such a condition. We summarize data on melioidosis in Africa and discuss the future directions for epidemiological, clinical and bacteriological studies. We conclude that searching for old bugs in new places is no academic treasure hunt but a clinically relevant activity to pursue.

“…LOS is directly related to severity of burn [3,23] and treatment modalities available at the care centre [23,[27][28][29][30][31][32]. Severe injuries may require various treatment modalities including escharectomies, tangential excisions and serial skin grafting.…”
