Tularemia lethality

Field First Aid Brucella is typically an acute, non-specific feverish illness with chills, sweats, headache, fatigue, myalgias, artthralgias, and anorexia (loss of appetite). Cough occurs in 15 to 25 percent of cases but a chest X-ray is usually normal. Complications may include arthritis, sacroiliitis, and vertebral osteomyelitis. Untreated disease may persist for month to years, often with relapses and remissions. Disability may be pronounced, and lethality may approach six percent. Brucellosis may be indistinguishable clinically from the typhoidal form of tularemia (see Guide For Emergency Response for Tularemia) or from typhoid fever itself. [Pg.141]
