Abstract

The article reports on a study on tularemia in 100 children in Turkey from September 2009 to November 2012. The study examined the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the zoonotic disease which is caused by Francisella tularensis in children 3-18 years of age. Findings showed that cervical lymphadenopathy and elevated erythrocyte are the common physical signs and laboratory findings.

Abstract

The article presents a study on the genetic diversity of oropharyngeal tularemia in Turkey from December 2009 until January 2011. The zoonotic disease is caused by Francisella tularensis subspecie holarctica from contaminated water. Samples from 14 patients were taken for fine-needle lymph node aspiration, DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It is suggested that the disease expands the known geographic range of these phylogenetic groups.
