Abstract

Tularemia is a rare zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis, which is a pathogenic spp. of Gram-negative, noncapsular, aerobic coccobacillus. Insect or rodent bite, contact with animals, consuming contaminated animal products, and water may be the routes of transmission. This bacterial infection has a significant place in the otolaryngology practice, as some patients with tularemia have signs and symptoms localized in the head and neck. In this article, we report a 60-year-old female patient with a four-month history of sore throat, dysphagia, right-sided neck mass, and fever. Radiological studies revealed a retropharyngeal abscess with a right-sided aberrant internal carotid artery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a retropharyngeal abscess caused by Francisella tularensis with an aberrant internal carotid artery on the same side.

Özet

Tularemi Gram-negatif, kapsülsüz, aerobik bir kokobasilin patojenik suşu olan Franciella tularensisin neden olduğu nadir görülen bir zoonozdur. Bulaş yolları böcek veya kemirgen ısırığı, hayvanlarla temas, hayvansal ürünlerin tüketilmesi ve suyla olabilmektedir. Tularemili hastaların bazılarında baş ve boyun yerleşimli bulgu ve belirtiler olduğu için, bu bakteriyel enfeksiyonun kulak, burun, boğaz uygulamasında önemli bir yeri vardır. Bu yazıda, dört aydır boğaz ağrısı, yutma güçlüğü, sağ taraflı boyun kitlesi ve ateş öyküsü olan 60 yaşında bir kadın olgu sunuldu. Radyolojik çalışmalarda, sağ taraflı aberan internal karotis arter ile birlikte retrofarengeal apse izlendi. Bilgimiz dahilinde, bu, aynı tarafta aberan internal karotis arter ile birlikte Francisella tularensisin neden olduğu ilk retrofarengeal apse olgusudur.
