Tularemia in Pediatric Patients: A Case Series and Review of the Literature.

Article Synopsis
- Tularemia is often misdiagnosed in children due to its similar symptoms to other common lymphadenopathy diseases, leading to delayed treatment; awareness among pediatricians is crucial.
- A review of 94 cases revealed a wide age range of affected children, with infection sources primarily from zoonotic transmission and contaminated water, and fever being a common symptom.
- Effective treatment typically includes aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, or tetracyclines, and pediatricians should consider tularemia in cases of febrile lymphadenopathy to avoid unnecessary costs from misguided antibiotic treatments and extended hospital stays.
