What Is Tularemia?
6. Symptoms
The symptoms of tularemia will vary according to which type of the disease has been contracted. It can take as long as two weeks for symptoms to show, but it will usually happen within three to five days. One potential symptom is ulcers on the skin where the infection took place.
Other potential symptoms include a fever, chills, headache, and lymph glands that are painful and swollen. Some people can also experience breathing difficulties, chest pain, and exhaustion. Eye pain and redness are other potential symptoms, along with a sensitivity to light and discharge from the eyes. Pneumonia is another potential symptom, as is an enlarged spleen and/or liver.
