Abstract

This case report details the clinical manifestation and course of glandular tularemia, an uncommon but significant cause of cervical lymphadenopathy in children. We discuss the unique attributes of this disease along with appropriate steps that lead to early identification of the organism and effective treatment. The potential use of the organism as a bioterrorism agent is another interesting aspect of this entity.
