title: [Tularemia in Norway. A clinical and epidemiological review].
abstract: Altogether 105 cases of tularemia were reported to the nationwide notification system for infectious diseases (MSIS) in Norway during the period 1975-90. The zoonosis appears every year in Northern Norway. The first epidemic outbreak was reported from Central Norway in 1984-85. During the nineteen eighties the disease has reappeared in Southern Norway. We review the clinical features and epidemiological patterns of tularemia in Norway. Preliminary investigations indicate that the future drug of choice for treatment of tularemia is one of the gyrase-inhibitors.
