Abstract
Tularemia can present as an oto-rhino-laryngological disease. The clinical and radiological (CT) manifestations, diagnosis and treatment are discussed based on a case report where a patient with tonsillitis and enlarged cervical lymph nodes was admitted to the department of oto-rhino-laryngology of a hospital in Northern Norway.Francisella tularensiswas isolated from the blood and there was a high titre of agglutinating serum antibodies to F. tularensis. The patient's contaminated drinking water well is the suspect source of infection.
