| dc.description.abstract | Francisella tularensis, a Gram-negative coccobacillus, is a highly virulent pathogen responsible for several zoonotic outbreaks in Europe in the last few decades. The authors report the case of a 46-year-old male who developed fever, myalgias and headache a week after having contact with animal feed contaminated by rodents. Serological tests were positive for Francisella tularensis. This first case of autochthonous tularemia in Portugal led to an intensive investigation involving several healthcare services and national governmental authorities. The authors address the possible underdiagnosis of this infection in the country. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | Francisella tularensis, um cocobacilo Gram-negativo, é um microrganismo infecioso altamente virulento, responsável por vários surtos de doença na Europa nas últimas décadas. Os autores apresentam o caso de um homem de 46 anos com febre, mialgias e cefa- leias cerca de uma semana após contacto com ração de animais contaminada por roedores. O estudo serológico foi positivo para Francisella tularensis. Este caso, o primeiro caso de tularémia autóctone notificado em Portugal, originou uma intensa investigação envolvendo diversas autoridades de saúde e governamentais portuguesas. Os autores alertam para a possibilidade de subdiagnóstico desta doença no país. | pt_PT |
