Abstract

Aim: In recent years, tularemia's importance has been reemerging in Turkey. However, the majority of tularemia cases were reported in the northern cities of Turkey. In this study, we report 16 oropharyngeal tularemia patients living in rural areas of the city of Konya, which is located in the southern zone of the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey.
