OBJECTIVES This study aims emphasize oropharyngeal tularemia in the differential diagnosis of infected lymphadenopathy in the neck region. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty patients (13 males, 7 females; mean age 23 years; range 9 to 43 years) diagnosed with tularemia among those who admitted to our clinic between October 2008 - October 2010 with the complaint of lymphadenopathy in the neck, and un...

BACKGROUND Literature reports on ophthalmological manifestations related to tularemia, a zoonose caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, largely refer to Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome, which consists of the association of conjunctivitis with preauricular lymphadenitis. In this paper, we report a case of intraocular inflammation during tularemia infection. CASE PRESENTATION A 52-y...
