What Is Tularemia?
1. Different Types
There are several different types of tularemia, and the most common of them all is ulceroglandular tularemia. This variety is known for causing skin ulcers where the infection took place. Glandular tularemiais similar, but it does not cause ulcers. There is also oropharyngeal tularemia, which will tend to be caught from contaminated meat or water.
Pneumonic tularemia is another variety that is known for causing the same symptoms as pneumonia. Another variety is oculoglandular tularemia, and this will affect the patient’s eyes. Perhaps the most serious type is typhoidal tularemia, but this is thankfully also the rarest variety of the disease.
