摘要：

We report a French case of tularemic meningitis - the second to be thoroughly described - and discuss the existing literature. The patient is a 64-year-old man with no medical history, who developed fever, cutaneous symptoms, and swollen lymph nodes within a week after a hunt. He was then diagnosed with meningitis caused by Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica. Healing was quickly achieved ad integrum within 3 weeks with a course of ciprofloxacin. We discuss the existing literature about this specific issue, and try to shine a light on the superior efficacy and lesser toxicity of quinolones compared to the historical treatment.
