Tularemia primarily affects the lymphatic system and can cause swollen lymph nodes, particularly in the area near the site of infection. It can also manifest in various forms, affecting the skin (ulceroglandular), eyes (oculoglandular), and lungs (pneumonic), depending on the route of transmission. Other systemic symptoms may include fever, chills, and fatigue. Overall, the impact of tularemia varies based on the mode of infection and the individual's immune response.
