ABSTRACT
To differentiate cavitary lung lesions caused by melioidosis and tuberculosis is challenging, especially in endemic countries. A study with a matched-sampling method (16 cavitary pulmonary melioidosis vs. 16 cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis) showed characteristics of bacterial infection more obvious and severe in the melioidosis patients, which were useful to distinguish two conditions.
