ABSTRACT
Tularemia, caused by the Francisella tularensis, which is Gram negative small coccobacillus, is a zoonotic, bacterial, granulomatous infectious disease. It is widespread in the world. It is endemically and sporadically found in many regions throughout Turkey. Konya and its neighborhood is one of the regions, where the disease is endemically found. In Turkey, tularemia should be considered in definitive diagnosis in patients, who apply with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy and do not respond to beta- lactam antibiotics. In this article, we present a case of a 28-years-old patient with oropharyngeal tularemia, acute tonsillitis and cervical lymphadenopathy, which does not respond to non-specific antibiotics after consumption of a rabbit meat.
