Francis pneumonia

Tularemia is a common animal infectious disease in the United States. Its pathogenic bacteria, Francisella tularensis, is widely parasitic on many wild animals, domestic animals and birds. Ticks or deer fly bites are the main means of transmission. Like other plagues, Tura fever disease mainly affects the skin and local lymph nodes, and is characterized by focal purulent and granulomatous inflammatory reactions throughout the body. Lung involvement is usually secondary to bacteremia or primary inhalation of pathogenic bacteria. About 10% to 15% of cases of ulcerative granuloma caused by Francis tolaxia involve the lungs.
