Leptospirosis Prevalence and Risk Factors Among Patients Presenting With Fever to 4 Healthcare Sites in Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia: An International Multisite Observational and Nested Case–Control Study Open
Background We investigated the prevalence, diversity, and risk factors for acute leptospirosis in the Febrile Illness Evaluation in a Broad Range of Endemicities (FIEBRE) study. Methods Febrile patients aged ≥2 months in Laos, Malawi, Moza…

Case Report: Soft tissue infection with Burkholderia thailandensis capsular variant: case report from the Lao PDR Open
Background Burkholderia thailandensis is an environmental bacteria closely related to Burkholderia pseudomallei that rarely causes infection in humans. Some environmental isolates have shown to express a capsular polysaccharide known as B.…

Invasive Streptococcus agalactiae ST283 infection after fish consumption in two sisters, Lao PDR Open
Background: Streptococcus agalactiae is a normal commensal of the human gastro-intestinal and female genital tracts. It causes serious disease in neonates and pregnant women, as well as non-pregnant adults. Food-borne outbreaks have also b…

Detection and Quantification of the Capsular Polysaccharide of Burkholderia pseudomallei in Serum and Urine Samples from Melioidosis Patients Open
Melioidosis is very challenging to diagnose. There is a clear need for a point-of-care assay for the detection of B. pseudomallei antigen directly from patient samples.

Distribution of Burkholderia pseudomallei within a 300-cm deep soil profile: implications for environmental sampling Open
The environmental distribution of Burkholderia pseudomallei , the causative agent of melioidosis, remains poorly understood. B. pseudomallei is known to have the ability to occupy a variety of environmental niches, particularly in soil. Th…

Using Land Runoff To Survey the Distribution and Genetic Diversity of Burkholderia pseudomallei Strains in Vientiane, Laos Open
The environmental bacterium B. pseudomallei is the etiological agent of melioidosis, a tropical disease with one model estimating a global annual incidence of 165,000 cases and 89,000 deaths. In the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos),…

Bacteremia Caused by Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase–Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Vientiane, Lao PDR: A 5-Year Study Open
Although there has been an increasing incidence of bacteremia caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)–producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) across South East Asia, there are sparse data from the Lao PDR, where laboratory capacity…

The cost-effectiveness of the use of selective media for the diagnosis of melioidosis in different settings Open
Selective culture for B. pseudomallei should be considered by all laboratories in melioidosis-endemic areas. However, the appropriate strategy for implementation should be decided locally.

Melioidosis in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic Open
Melioidosis is clearly highly endemic in Laos, although the disease has only been diagnosed regularly in humans (1359 cases) since 1999, and only a single animal case has been microbiologically confirmed. Burkholderia pseudomallei is exten…
