==Overview==
Tularemia may be classified according the original mode of [[transmission]]. The mode of [[transmission]] will ultimately dictate the resulting [[Symptoms and Signs|clinical manifestations]] associated with tularemia infections. There are five common forms of tularemia, they include ulceroglandular, [[Glandular|glandular,]] oculoglandular, oropharyngeal, and [[Pneumonic plague|pneumonic]].<ref name="Signs Sym">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Signs and Symptoms of Tularemia. http://www.cdc.gov/tularemia/signssymptoms/index.html Accessed March 1, 2016 </ref>

==Classification==
Tularemia clinically manifests in five common forms:
*[[Ulceroglandular]]
*[[Glandular]]
*Oculoglandular
*Oropharyngeal
*[[Pneumonic plague|Pneumonic]]<ref name="Signs Sym">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Signs and Symptoms of Tularemia. http://www.cdc.gov/tularemia/signssymptoms/index.html Accessed March 1, 2016 </ref>


Shown below is a table that classifies ''Tularemia'' infection based on the specific rickettsia organism responsible for infection. The classification of the organism responsible for infection dictates the choice of antimicrobial therapy.
 
The table below represents Tularemia clinical manifestations according to their distinct modes of transmission.

Overview

Tularemia may be classified according the original mode of transmission. The mode of transmission will ultimately dictate the resulting clinical manifestations associated with tularemia infections. There are five common forms of tularemia, they include ulceroglandular, glandular, oculoglandular, oropharyngeal, and pneumonic.[1]

Classification

Tularemia clinically manifests in five common forms:


The table below represents Tularemia clinical manifestations according to their distinct modes of transmission.

Clinical Manifestation Mode of Transmission
Ulceroglandular Transmitted by the bite of an infected tick or deer fly
Glandular Transmitted by the bite of an infected tick or deer fly, however skin ulcer does not form.
Oculoglandular Transmitted through eye contact with infected animal meat. Either through rubbing of the eyes during the butchering process or fluid exposure.
Pneumonic Most dangerous form of tularemia, commonly transmitted through inhalation of material infected with the organism. May also occur if a tularemia infection is left untreated and spreads through the blood streams to the lungs.
