Deskripsi
Ulceroglandular tularemia is caused by the transmission of <i>Francisella tularensis</i> by arthropods to a human host. We report a case of tick-borne tularemia in Austria which was followed by an abscess formation in a lymph node, making drainage necessary. <i>F. tularensis</i> subsp. <i>holarctica</i> was identified by PCR and multilocus sequence typing.
