Francisella tularensis endocarditis: two case reports and a literature review

Rostane Gaci et al. Infect Dis (Lond). 2017 Feb.

Abstract

We report the first two cases of infective endocarditis caused by Francisella tularensis in Europe (two cases have previously been reported outside Europe). We suggest clinicians should consider tularemia as a possible diagnosis in endemic regions in cases of culture-negative endocarditis.

Keywords: Europe; Francisella tularensis; Tularemia; endocarditis; review.
