Abstract

Tularemia is increasing in Austria. We report Francisella tularensis subspecies holarctica isolated from 3 patients who had been bitten by arthropods. Next-generation sequencing showed substantial isolate similarity. Clinicians should consider bloodstream F. tularensis infections for patients with signs/symptoms of ulceroglandular tularemia, and surveillance of potential vectors should be intensified.

Abstract

A previously healthy man in Austria had tularemia epididymo-orchitis develop, leading to unilateral orchiectomy. Francisella tularensis subspecies holartica was detected by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis of inflamed granulomatous testicular tissue. Clinicians should suspect F. tularensis as a rare etiologic microorganism in epididymo-orchitis patients with relevant risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
