ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Tularemia is a zoonotic disease that has been reported in many countries of the Northern Hemisphere. However, in some countries, such as Iran, this disease has been neglected by the health care system, and it is under-reported. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report an unusual case of ulceroglandular tularemia occurring in a 35-year-old woman who presented with a skin lesion of the left flank, inguinal lymphadenopathy, and an abdominal abscess. The serological and real-time PCR tests for tularemia were positive for this patient, and infection by Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica was confirmed.

CONCLUSIONS:

It is necessary to implement various educational programs to increase the awareness of physicians with tularemia.
