The incubation period is 1 to 21 days, with a median of 9 days, but can be pro- longed (years) for melioidosis. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS: Culture is the appropriate method to diagnose B cepacia complex infection.Incysticfibrosislunginfection,cultureof sputumonselectiveagarisrec- ommended to decrease the potential for overgrowth by mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa. B cepacia and B gladiolicanbeidentifiedbypolymerasechainreactionassay,butthis assayisnotavailableroutinely.Definitivediagnosisof melioidosisismadebyisolation of B pseudomallei from blood or other infected sites. The likelihood of successfully isolating the organism is increased by culture of sputum, throat, rectum, and ulcer or skin lesion specimens. A positive result by the indirect hemagglutination assay for a traveler who has returned from an area with endemic infection may support the diagnosis of meli- oidosis,butdefinitivediagnosisstillrequiresisolationof B pseudomallei from an infected site. Other rapid assays are being developed for diagnosis of melioidosis, but none are available commercially. TREATMENT: Meropenem is the agent most active against the majority of B cepa- cia complex isolates, although other drugs that may be effective include imipenem, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ceftazidime, doxycycline, and chloramphenicol. Some experts recommend combinations of antimicrobial agents that provide synergistic activity against B cepacia complex. The majority of B cepacia complex isolates are resistant intrinsically to aminoglycosides and polymyxin B. The drugs of choice for initial treatment of melioidosis include ceftazidime or meropenem or imipenem for a minimum of 10 to 14 days. After acute therapy is completed, eradication therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or doxycy- cline for 12 to 24 weeks is recommended to reduce recurrence. Further studies to deter- mine the optimal duration and regimen are ongoing. ISOLATION OF THE HOSPITALIZED PATIENT: Contact and droplet precautions are recommended for patients infected with multidrug-resistant strains of B cepacia complex. Standard precautions are recommended for people with B pseudomallei infection. CONTROL MEASURES: Because some strains of B cepacia complex are highly trans- missible and virulence is not well understood, many centers limit contact between B cepacia complex-infectedand-uninfectedpatientswithcysticfibrosis.Thisincludes inpatient,outpatient,andsocialsettings.Forexample,patientswithcysticfibrosiswho are infected with B cepacia complex are cared for in single rooms and have unique clinic hours. Education of patients and families about hand hygiene and appropriate personal hygiene is recommended. Prevention of infection with B pseudomallei in areas with endemic disease can be difficult,becausecontactwithcontaminatedwaterandsoiliscommon.Peoplewith diabetesmellitus,renalinsufficiency,orskinlesionsshouldavoidcontactwithsoiland standing water in these areas. Wearing boots and gloves during agricultural work in areas with endemic disease is recommended. ERRATA—REVISED TEXT FOR PAGE 349 5 Immunization. Two single-antigen (monovalent) Hib conjugate vaccine products and 2combinationvaccineproductsthatcontainHibconjugateareavailableintheUnited States (see Table 3.10). The Hib conjugate vaccines consist of the Hib capsular poly- saccharide (polyribosylribotol phosphate [PRP]) covalently linked to a carrier protein. Protective antibodies are directed against PRP. Conjugate vaccines vary in composition and immunogenicity, and as a result, recommendations for their use differ.
