Purulent lymphadenitis has appeared in 5.9% of cases. 21,2% of affected children have been vaccinated and revaccinated against tularemia for 1–11 years before the disease. Туляремия – зоонозная природно-очаговая инфекция. Возбудитель (Francisella tularensis) – грамотрицательная бактерия, высоковирулентная для человека и животных (грызуны, зайцы, кролики).
