dc.description.abstractTularemia is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Francisella tularensis. The aim of our study was to examine the epidemiological and demographical characteristics, laboratory findings, treatment methods, and treatment results of 68 tularaemia cases reported from Duzce, Western Black Sea region of Turkey, between 2016-2019. Clinical diagnosis was confirmed by micro-agglutination test (>= 1/160 titres). A total of 68 patients (35 females, 33 males) were diagnosed with tularemia. The most common symptoms among the patients in the study were swelling in the neck in 88.2% patients, sore throat in 73.5% patients and tonsillopharyngitis in 72.8% of the patients. Lymph node surgery was performed on 29.4% of patients despite receipt of antibiotherapy. The rate of ciprofloxacin use among patients not requiring lymph node surgery(46%) was significantly higher than that in patients requiring such surgery (20%) (p=0.046). No difference in lymph node surgery was observed among patients receiving combination antibiotherapy (p>0.05).en_US
