Özet:

Tularemia is one of the endemic zoonotic infections seen in Turkey. Although the ulceroglandular form of the disease is the most common form in the world, oropharyngeal tularemia is the most common form in our country. Oropharyngeal tularemia can be acquired by ingesting contaminated water or food and can cause outbreaks. In this paper, a tularemia case who had a history of being at a rural region five days ago was presented. He hadn’t history of bite or contact with wild animals or ingestion of spring water. Diagnosis was made by positivity in microagglutination test with a titer of 1/320. He was given beta-lactam antibiotics prior to the admission but his cervical lymphadenopathy hadn’t regressed. During the moxifloxacin therapy cervical lymphadenopathy was fistulated spontaneously and then regressed after 14 days therapy.
