Difficulty Breathing
If a person with tularemia doesn't take antibiotics to manage the illness, it can progress to pneumonic tularemia. Untreated pneumonic tularemia can be especially dangerous. Over time, the infection may cause a person could to go into respiratory distress or even stop breathing.4‘Tularaemia.

If a person is short of breath, breathing too quickly or not able to breathe deeply, they should go to a hospital. They may need extra oxygen or mechanical ventilation along with antibiotics to manage the infection.1‘Signs and Symptoms of Tularemia | CDC.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 18 Dec. 2019, www.cdc.gov/tularemia/signssymptoms/index.html
