title: Tularemia in two South Dakota children.
abstract: Tularemia may be relatively rare in the United States, but physicians must be able to recognize it in order to treat it in its earliest stages. They also need to understand that most antibiotics are not effective against the disease. This article presents two cases oftularemia infection among school-aged children in South Dakota who were successfully treated with IV gentamicin and oral antibiotic combinations.
