Treatment of Melioidosis: Evidence-Based Antibiotic Regimen
Melioidosis requires a structured, phased antibiotic approach. The appropriate regimen is guided by disease severity and the specific sites of infection involved.
Treatment Approach
Management follows a two-phase strategy: an initial intensive phase using intravenous antibiotic therapy, followed by a prolonged oral eradication phase to prevent relapse.
The complete regimen — including specific agents, selection criteria for severity and site of infection, and duration — is available in the full structured protocol.
