Karzinom, Tuberkulose, atypische Pneumonie – oder vielleicht pulmonale Tularämie? Zwei Fallberichte
Carcinoma, tuberculosis, atypical pneumonia – or may be pulmonary tularemia? Two case reports
Zusammenfassung
Tularämie ist eine seltene aber in ländlichen Gebieten ganz Deutschlands endemische Zoonose. Ihre Manifestation bei inhalativem Infektionsweg ruft Erkrankungsbilder hervor, die zunächst an andere atypische Pneumonien, pulmonale Neoplasien oder Tuberkulose denken lassen. Wir stellen zwei für die pulmonale Manifestation typische Erkrankungsfälle vor.
Abstract
Tularemia is a rare zoonotic disease, endemic in rural areas all over Germany. It’s clinical manifestation following inhalation of infectious aerosols may resemble pulmonary neoplasia, other atypical pneumonias or tuberculosis. Here we describe two representative cases with pulmonary tularemia.
