Tularemia: Understanding
Tularemia: Overview
Tularemia, also known as "rabbit fever," is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. This highly infectious disease can affect various organ systems in the body, including the skin, eyes, throat, lungs, and intestines, depending on the route of infection. Tularemia is typically acquired through contact with infected animals, such as rodents and rabbits, or through the bites of infected arthropods like ticks and deer flies. Additionally, the disease can be contracted by handling contaminated animal tissue, inhaling aerosolized bacteria, or consuming contaminated food and water. The severity of tularemia varies greatly, ranging from mild and self-limiting cases to severe and potentially life-threatening complications.There are four recognized subspecies of F. tularensis, with type A causing the most severe disease in North America and type B associated with a milder form in Europe and Asia. Tularemia can present in several ways, such as ulceroglandular, glandular, oculoglandular, oropharyngeal, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and typhoidal forms, depending on the mode of transmission. The organism can survive in extreme conditions and has been found in many insects and animals, with mosquitoes serving as a vector in Northern Europe and ticks in North America. Certain populations, including veterinarians, laboratory workers, farmers, landscapers, and those who work with animals or handle meat, are at increased risk of infection.
Tularemia can present with a wide range of signs and symptoms depending on the route of infection and the specific form of the disease. The most common form is ulceroglandular tularemia, which typically begins with a skin ulcer at the site of infection, often accompanied by painful and swollen lymph nodes, fever, chills, headache, and fatigue. Oculoglandular tularemia affects the eyes, causing symptoms such as eye pain, swelling, discharge, redness, light sensitivity, and the formation of ulcers inside the eyelid, along with tender lymph nodes around the ear, neck, and jaw. Oropharyngeal tularemia, often caused by consuming contaminated food or water, can lead to a sore throat, mouth ulcers, tonsillitis, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
Treatment for tularemia primarily involves the use of antibiotics, with streptomycin being the drug of choice, although gentamicin is also an acceptable alternative. Other antibiotics like doxycycline and ciprofloxacin may be used orally. Symptomatic and supportive care is also provided to manage the various symptoms of the disease. In some cases, treatment may need to be monitored closely, especially if symptoms began before antibiotic therapy was initiated, as there is a risk of relapse. The duration of treatment typically lasts for 10 to 21 days, but full recovery may take longer. It is essential to seek medical attention promptly, as untreated cases of tularemia can have severe complications, including organ damage, and up to 30% of untreated cases of type A tularemia can be fatal.
