Cluster of ulceroglandular tularemia cases in Slovenia
Ticks Tick Borne Dis.
2016 Oct.
Abstract
In Slovenia, a small Central European country, where tularemia cases are very rare and mostly sporadic, six cases of ulceroglandular tularemia were recognised in 2012-2013 in patients residing in or visiting a small geographical area of <6km2. Epidemiological data indicated transmission by a tick bite in at least 3/6 patients.
