Tularemia in Canada with a focus on Saskatchewan.

T Martin, I H Holmes, G A Wobeser, R F Anthony, I Greefkes.   

Abstract

Although rare among humans in Canada, tularemia is often endemic in wildlife. The inhabitants of rural areas are especially likely to be exposed to the causative bacterium, Francisella tularensis, through trapping or through the bites of arthropods. Muskrats have replaced rabbits as the principal source of infection, as illustrated by a familial outbreak of oropharyngeal tularemia in Saskatchewan. In humans the disease has six distinct forms and can be asymptomatic, but it generally comes to medical attention as fever, persistent ulcers and enlarged lymph nodes. Serologic tests will confirm the diagnosis.Bien que la tularémie soit rare chez l'homme au Canada, elle existe souvent à l'état endémique parmi les animaux sauvages. Les habitants des régions rurales sont particuliérement susceptibles d'être exposés à l'agent étiologique, Francisella tularensis, lors du trappage ou par les morsures d'arthropodes. Le rat musqué a maintenant remplacé le lapin comme principale source d'infection, tel que l'illustre une poussée de tularémie oropharyngienne chez une famille de Saskatchewan. Chez l'humain la maladie prend six formes distinctes, et elle peut être asymptomatique, mais elle se présente généralement à l'attention du médecin comme une fièvre accompagnée d'ulcères persistants et d'une tuméfaction ganglionnaire. Les épreuves sérologiques confirment le diagnostic.
