| Abstrakt: | Francisella tularensis is a re-emerging organism causing more significant outbreaks of tularemia and fear of bioterrorism. It can be challenging to recognize tularemia due to its variable presentation, especially in low-incidence areas. Physicians must be mindful of this life-threatening infectious disease and consider it a differential diagnosis in patients with fever of unknown origin. We encountered a case of pulmonary tularemia with a unique presentation of severe headache and fever. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
