Abstract

A fifteen year old girl was consulted to us with the complaint of not getting benefit from antibiotics used to treat left oropharyngeal on going swelling lasted for seven weeks along with first two weeks of fever. Tularemia was suspected because of patient's living in rural area, being the story of drinking water from the same environment, the consistency of clinical findings and not responding to the treatment. Clinical diagnosis of tularemia was confirmed by micro agglutination testing. In conclusion, tularemia should be considered in the differential diagnosis in the patients with fever, sore throat, cervical lymphadenopathy, and particularly who do not respond to beta-lactam group antibiotics treatment.

Özet

On beş yaşında kız çocuğu, yedi haftadır devam eden sol orofarengeal şişlikle ve beraberinde ilk iki haftalık ateş nedeniyle hastanemiz dışında kullanılan antibiyotiklere cevap vermemesi üzerine tarafımıza başvurmuştur. Kırsal bölgede yaşama, aynı çevreden su içme hikâyesi olması, klinik bulguların uyumu ve tedaviye cevapsızlık olması nedeniyle tularemiden şüphelenildi. Tulareminin klinik tanısı mikroaglutinasyon testiyle doğrulandı. Sonuç olarak ateş, boğaz ağrısı, servikal lenfadenopatisi olan ve özellikle beta-laktam grubu antibiyotik tedavisine yanıt vermeyen olgularda tularemi ayırıcı tanıda dikkate alınmalıdır.
