Lack of Tularemia Among Health Care Providers With Close Contact With Infected Patients-A Case Series.

Abstract

Francisella tularensis has a low infectious dose and can infect laboratory staff handling clinical specimens. The risk to health care providers exposed during patient care is poorly defined. We describe 9 examples of health care providers who did not develop tularemia after significant exposures to infected patients. © Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Infectious Diseases Society of America 2019.
