Ulceroglandular tularemia is caused by the transmission of Francisella tularensis by arthropods to a human host. This case in Austria led to abscess formation in a lymph node, requiring drainage, with the identification of F. tularensis subsp. holarctica through PCR and multilocus sequence typing.
Ulceroglandular tularemia is caused by the transmission of Francisella tularensis by arthropods to a human host. We report a case of tick-borne tularemia in Austria which was followed by an abscess formation in a lymph node, making drainage necessary. F. tularensis subsp. holarctica was identified by PCR and multilocus sequence typing.
