Ulceroglandular tularemia complicated by pneumonia--a case report.
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.
