Oculoglandular Tularemia From Crushing an Engorged Tick

We report on an unusual case of oculoglandular tularemia acquired after crushing a tick removed from a dog. As a droplet sprayed into the patient’s eye the eyelids became inflamed, and on the fourth day, a high fever started. Prompt antibiotic treatment prevented serious complication.
