ABSTRACT
This article presents a case of ulceroglandular tularemia with local lymph node manifestation in a hobby hunter. An adequate diagnosis and early treatment of tularemia is of crucial importance not only for the patient, as when a surgical intervention is necessary there are also substantial risks for medical personnel. In the diagnosis of tularemia, which is rare but with an increasing incidence in Germany, the anamnesis provides the most important clues. A surgical intervention should only be performed after adequate treatment and duration of treatment.
