Ulceroglandular tularemia complicated by pneumonia – a case report
Journal Title: Przegląd Epidemiologiczny - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 3
Abstract
Tularemia is an antropozoonosis caused by Gram-negative coccobacillus Francisella tularensis. The majority of tularemia cases are reported in summer due to exposure to insect and tick bites. This paper discusses a case of 11-year-old boy diagnosed with ulceroglandular tularemia complicated by pneumonia. Conclusions: tularemia should be considered in differential diagnosis of febrile condition and lymphadenopathy in children who contracted disease in summer or autumn, especially if there is a history of insect or tick bite.
