Abstract

Tularemia is a bacterial zoonotic disease that occasionally causes epidemics in our country. This disease is transmitted by contact with infected animals, consumption of contaminated water and food. However, tick-borne transmission has also been reported. However, the literature on this subject is controversial. In this review study, it was aimed to review the subject of tick-borne tularemia in the light of the literature.

KENE KAYNAKLI TULAREMİ

Abstract

Tularemi ülkemizde de zaman zaman salgınlar yapan bakteriyal zoonotik bir hastalıktır. Bu hastalık özelikle enfekte hayvanlara temas, kontamine su ve gıdaların tüketilmesi ile bulaşır. Ancak kene kaynaklı bulaş da bildirilmiştir. Ancak bu konuda literatür bilgisi tartışmalıdır. Bu derleme çalışmasında kene kaynaklı tularemi konusunun literatür eşliğinde gözden geçirilmesi amaçlandı.
