Tularemia is a disease fatal to wild rodents and, in some instances, to man. It has been reported from most of the states in the Union and from Japan, and has occurred in laboratory workers in England. It has been found in sheep, wild rats, mice, hares and rabbits. It is transmitted to man by the handling of the internal organs of infected animals or by the bites of certain ticks and horseflies. The disease is classified under four types, namely: (1) oculoglandular; (2) ulceroglandular, of which the case reported here is typical; (3) typhoid, and (4) glandular. The active stage of the disease usually lasts about three weeks, but its manifestations do not entirely disappear until about three months. It is diagnosed by obtaining the causative organism, Bacterium tularense, in blood culture or by agglutination of the blood serum. Treatment is usually symptomatic, although some have reported success
