Rombencephalitis Caused by Francisella tularensis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT Common presentations of tularemia include pneumonia and ulceroglandular, oropharyngeal, or typhoidal disease. Neuromeningeal involvement is extremely rare. We report a case of a severe rhombencephalitis due to Francisella tularensis .
