Tularemia – a case report

Prikazana je prethodno zdrava žena u dobi od 44 godina, koja je razvila tonziloglandularni oblik tularemije praćen kožnim osipom. Klinički tijek kao i neučinkovitost prethodne terapije penicilinom upućivali su na moguću tularemiju. Inicijalno pozitivan nalaz imunokromatografskog testa je sugerirao dijagnozu koja je potvrđena serološki testom aglutinacije (serokonverzija titra protutijela). Provedena je terapija gentamicinom tijekom 10 dana s dobrim kliničkim učinkom.We present a previously healthy 44-year-old female patient who developed tonsilloglandular form of tularemia with skin rash. Clinical course of disease as well as unsuccessful penicillin therapy indicated possible tularemia. Initially positive finding of immunochromatographic assay suggested the diagnosis that was confirmed with serological agglutination test (seroconversion of antibody titers). Gentamicin therapy was implemented for 10 days with good clinical effect
