title: An original case of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica bacteremia after a near-drowning accident.
abstract: We report the first case of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica bacteremia after water contamination in France. A 75-year-old man developed septic pneumonic tularemia after a near-drowning accident. We highlight the need for a longer incubation time for isolation of F. tularensis from blood cultures.
