A cluster of tularaemia after contact with a dead hare in the Netherlands
Abstract
Tularemia is thought to be rare in the Netherlands. Here we describe a cluster of two patients who contracted tularaemia after field dressing of a hare found dead. Additionally, infection from the same source is suggested in three animals.
