Tularemia among employees of the Kurgan cannery

Abstract

The reason for this report was the mass illness of the workers of the Kurgan cannery with a plague-like disease that we observed in the spring of 1930 and 1931. The disease that arose at the plant in connection with the processing of hares for the manufacture of canned hare that began in 1930 is so characteristic of the clinical and epidemiological picture that even ordinary employees of the cannery distinguished it from a number of other purulent lymphadenitis often occurring under working conditions and dubbed it "hare disease".
