History and Symptoms
Common symptoms of Tularemia include:
- Sudden fever
- Chills
- Headaches
- Diarrhea
- Muscle aches
- Joint pain
- Dry cough
- Progressive weakness
- Other symptoms of tularemia depend on how a person was exposed to the tularemia bacteria. These symptoms can include ulcers on the skin or mouth, swollen and painful lymph glands, swollen and painful eyes, and a sore throat.
Depending on the site of infection and mode of transmission, tularemia has six characteristic clinical syndromes:
- ulceroglandular
- glandular
- oropharyngeal
- pneumonic
- oculoglandular
- typhoidal.[1] Inflammation spreads to the lymph nodes, which enlarge and may suppurate (mimicking bubonic plague). Lymph node involvement is accompanied by a high fever. Death may result.[2]
