Tularemia mortality rate

Ulceroglandular tularemia is the most common form. It comprises 70 to 75% of all cases. Pneumonic tularemia is the next most common (8 to 13%), followed by glandular tularemia (5 to 12%). The other forms are less common. Typhoidal tularemia has the highest mortality rate and as a result is the most likely to be used by terrorists. Exposure causes acute onset of fever, chills, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea. Skin lesions and swollen lymph nodes are not usual. This is a systemic disease and is the only form of tularemia in which diarrhea is usually seen.3...

Humans acquire tularemia occasionally via insect vectors, such as the North American tick. In aerosolized form, typhoidal or pneumonic tularemia can be transmitted to an individual by as few as 10 to 50 organisms. Pneumonia following tularemia can kill up to 35 percent of infected individuals. However, secondary infection via breath, from one person in close proximity to another, is extremely rare. With antibiotic treatment, the mortality rate from all forms of tularemia is less than 1 percent.
