What Is Tularemia?
10. Treatment
Treatment for tularemia will typically involve antibiotics. The exact type of antibiotic that is used will depend on which type of tularemia the patient has. The antibiotics may be taken orally, although they are also sometimes injected. The patient may also need treatment for any complications they may have.
In cases of pneumonia, the patient may need an oxygen mask to help them breathe. In the more severe cases, it may even be necessary to place them on a ventilator. Meningitis will also likely be treated with antibiotics, and the patient will likely need to be hospitalized. Getting treatment for the patient as soon as possible will help prevent serious complications from developing.
