Abstract
Tularemia is a bacterial zoonosis caused by Francisella tularensis. In France, around a few dozen cases per year are observed, and the infection is transmitted to humans by a hare in most cases. The most common form is the ulceroglandular tularemia, but severe pulmonary or septicaemia forms can occur. Treatment depends on the severity of the clinical presentation, and consists in an antibiotherapy.
