The ecology of tularaemia.
Tularaemia, a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis McCoy, 1912, is reported from North America, Europe and northern parts of Asia, but not from the Southern Hemisphere. Two subspecies of F. tularensis are recognised: the highly virulent type A and the milder type B, with additional subdivisions reported. Tularaemia has been reported in more than 250 animal species inc...
متن کاملBichat guidelines for the clinical management of tularaemia and bioterrorism-related tularaemia.
Francisella tularensis is one of the most infectious pathogenic bacteria known, requiring inoculation or inhalation of as few as 10 organisms to initiate human infection. Inhalational tularaemia following intentional release of a virulent strain of F. tularensis would have great impact and cause high morbidity and mortality. Another route of contamination in a deliberate release could be contam...
متن کاملThe incidental lung lesion: effect of cardiac stress on the MIBI uptake in the lung mass
A discrete MIBI avid lung lesion was found in cinematic views of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) of a 59 year-old woman. Interestingly, the abnormal uptake in the lung was detectable only in the rest phase images and not in the images acquired in the stress phase. MPI was performed for pre-operation cardiac risk assessment before correction surgery for spinal canal stenosis. She had no...
متن کاملLung density and lung mass in emphysema.
Mean lung density (dm) and radiologic (VLx) lung volume can be calculated using CT scan data. As many emphysematous patients are overdistended, the analysis of dm alone could be meaningless. However, lung mass (m) can be calculated as the product of dm and VLx. Twenty-four patients suspected of mild or severe emphysema as judged by roentgenographic and physiologic examinations as well as 16 hea...
متن کاملCervical tularaemia in a non-endemic area.
Tularemia is a zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis. The microorganism is transmitted to humans by contact with, or ingestion of, infected animal tissues, by insect bites, consumption of contaminated food or water, or from inhalation of aerolized bacteria. In this report we describe a case of tularemia presenting with multiple cervical lymphadenitis in Asturias (Spain). Final diagn...
