Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria
  • Disease

His primary areas of study are Melioidosis, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Internal medicine, Microbiology and Immunology. Direk Limmathurotsakul interconnects Environmental health, Intensive care medicine, Sepsis and Trimethoprim in the investigation of issues within Melioidosis. In the subject of general Burkholderia pseudomallei, his work in Burkholderia mallei is often linked to Malay peninsula, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

As a member of one scientific family, Direk Limmathurotsakul mostly works in the field of Internal medicine, focusing on Surgery and, on occasion, Hazard ratio, Pharmacotherapy, Cerebrospinal fluid, Anesthesia and Lateral flow test. The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Developing country and Epidemiology. His studies examine the connections between Immunology and genetics, as well as such issues in Public health, with regards to Disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Predicted global distribution of Burkholderia pseudomallei and burden of melioidosis. (404 citations)
  • Increasing Incidence of Human Melioidosis in Northeast Thailand (304 citations)
  • Determinants of Mortality in a Combined Cohort of 501 Patients With HIV-Associated Cryptococcal Meningitis: Implications for Improving Outcomes (220 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Melioidosis, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Microbiology, Internal medicine and Immunology. His Melioidosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Infectious disease, Disease, Sepsis and Intensive care medicine. Direk Limmathurotsakul interconnects Veterinary medicine, Antibody, Soil test and Immune system in the investigation of issues within Burkholderia pseudomallei.

His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Virology, Antigen, Bacteria, Leptospira and Virulence. The concepts of his Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Gastroenterology, Surgery and Bacteremia. The various areas that Direk Limmathurotsakul examines in his Immunology study include Diabetes mellitus and Mortality rate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Melioidosis (68.17%)
  • Burkholderia pseudomallei (60.66%)
  • Microbiology (35.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Melioidosis (68.17%)
  • Burkholderia pseudomallei (60.66%)
  • Internal medicine (29.73%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Melioidosis, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Internal medicine, Microbiology and Sepsis. Direk Limmathurotsakul combines subjects such as Diabetes mellitus, Immunology, Immune system, Serology and Genetic variation with his study of Melioidosis. Direk Limmathurotsakul has researched Burkholderia pseudomallei in several fields, including Infectious disease, Disease and Antibody.

His Internal medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bacteremia and Medical prescription. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gram and Bacteria. His studies in Sepsis integrate themes in fields like Health equity, Observational study, Prospective cohort study and Emergency medicine.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Association of the Quick Sequential (Sepsis-Related) Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) Score With Excess Hospital Mortality in Adults With Suspected Infection in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. (79 citations)
  • The global burden of sepsis: barriers and potential solutions (74 citations)
  • The global burden of sepsis: barriers and potential solutions (74 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria
  • Disease

Direk Limmathurotsakul mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Global health, Sepsis, Burkholderia pseudomallei and Melioidosis. His research on Internal medicine frequently links to adjacent areas such as Bacteremia. His Global health research incorporates elements of Action plan, Risk analysis, Antibiotic resistance and Biostatistics.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Observational study, Health care delivery, Healthcare system, Health equity and Poverty in addition to Sepsis. His Burkholderia pseudomallei study incorporates themes from Infectious disease, Disease, Diabetes mellitus, Immunology and Serology. Many of his studies on Melioidosis involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Public health.
