Leishmania and tularemia are infectious diseases that both can present with lymphadenopathy. Leishmania typically causes visceral or cutaneous forms, while tularemia can result in glandular tularemia characterized by lymphadenitis. We report a case of a patient presenting with localized cervical lymphadenopathy diagnosed with both leishmaniasis and tularemia. This case underscores the importance of considering both pathogenic agents in the differential diagnosis of localized lymphadenitis. Early treatment is crucial to prevent the dissemination of these infections.
利什曼病和兔热病是两种都可表现为淋巴结病的传染病。利什曼病通常引起内脏型或皮肤型,而兔热病可导致以淋巴结炎为特征的腺型兔热病。我们报告一例表现为局限性颈部淋巴结病的患者,诊断为利什曼病和兔热病。该病例强调了在局限性淋巴结炎的鉴别诊断中考虑这两种病原体的重要性。早期治疗对于预防这些感染的传播至关重要。
