- Title
Tick-Borne Tularemia Presenting as Ulcerative Lymphadenitis.
- Authors
Speert, David P.; Britt, William J.; Kaplan, Edward L.
- Abstract
The article presents a report on tick borne tularemia in the United States. The diagnosis of tularemia is confirmed in a seven-year-old boy who developed ulcerative posterior cervical lymphadenitis six days after being bitten by a tick. The researchers report this case to emphasize the importance of the tick as a vector of Francisella tularensis and to encourage physicians to consider tularemia in the differential diagnosis of patients who develop lymphadenitis following a lick bite.
