A 67-year-old male presented with complaints of weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath in the context of a recent hospitalization for the same unresolved symptoms. After a largely nonspecific clinical presentation, a chest X-ray revealed a loculated pleural effusion. Culture of the postthoracentesis exudate revealed the culprit to be the aerobic Gram-negative bacterium . Amidst reports of potential resurgence, clinicians should be aware of the possible presentations of tularemia and consider it in the case of an ostensibly contributory patient history.
一名67岁男性因近期因同样未缓解的症状住院而出现虚弱、疲劳和呼吸急促的症状前来就诊。在临床表现大多无特异性之后，胸部X光检查显示有包裹性胸腔积液。胸腔穿刺抽出液的培养显示病原菌是需氧革兰氏阴性菌。在有潜在复发报告的情况下，临床医生应了解兔热病可能的表现，并在有明显相关病史的病例中考虑该病。
