    Typhoidal tularemia, often inhaled, causes bronchial inflammation and hilar enlargement. Researchers suggest renaming it pulmonary or respiratory tularemia to accurately reflect inhalation transmission.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Tularemia is a bacterial infection caused by Francisella tularensis.
    • The term 'typhoidal tularemia' describes a severe form without typical skin lesions.
    • Inhalation is a suspected but less understood transmission route.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical and pathological findings of typhoidal tularemia via bronchoscopy.
    • To determine the primary route of transmission and suggest revised terminology.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnostic bronchoscopy was performed on seven patients with typhoidal tularemia.
    • Bronchial biopsies were analyzed for histopathological changes.
    • Radiographic findings, particularly hilar enlargement, were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • All patients showed pathological bronchoscopic findings, including inflammation and one granulomatous tumor.
    • Early biopsies revealed hemorrhagic edema and inflammation; later biopsies showed granulomatous inflammation.
    • Radiographic hilar enlargement was common, suggesting lymph node involvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Inhalation is the likely transmission route for typhoidal tularemia, leading to bronchial changes.
    • The term 'typhoidal tularemia' is misleading; 'pulmonary' or 'respiratory' tularemia is more accurate.
    • Bronchoscopy and biopsy are valuable for diagnosing inhalation tularemia.
