Abstract

Objectives: evaluation of a treatment outcome of patients infected with Burkholderia pseudomallei at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases. Methods: cross-sectional study was conducted on 79 patients with confirmed of Burkholderia pseudomallei infection, between 2016 and 2021, at National Hospital of Tropical Diseases. Results and conclusions: Antibiotic susceptibility rate of 75 Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates: imipenem 93,2%; meropenem 96,3%; ceftazidim 93,3%; Amo + A.clavulanic 88,4%; TMP-SMX 82,2%; doxycyclin 100%; Tetracyclin 76,2%. Antibiotic resistance rate of 75 Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates: imipenem 2,7%; meropenem 3,7%; ceftazidim 1,3%; Amo + A.clavulanic 9,3%; TMP-SMX 16,4%; tetracyclin 14,3%. TMP-SMX did not reduce mortality rate and fever time when combined with intravenous antibiotics. The overall mortality rate was 11.4%. The mean hospital stay period was 26.72 ± 16.20 days. The fever time after treatment was mainly less than 7 days, accounting for 53.4%.
