title: Cavitary pneumonia and skin lesions.
abstract: Tularemia is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Francisella tularensis. The most frequent forms of tularemia are ulceroglandular, followed by typhoidal forms, glandular, and oculoglandular. Respiratory involvement is an uncommon presentation. Cutaneous lesions secondary to respiratory  infections occur in 30% of cases. We present a case of tularemia with cavitary pneumonia and skin lesions.
