    (Bilimsel Tip Yayinevi, 2023) Dirik, Sukru; Pullukcu, Husnu; Acar, Ayda; Tasbakan, Meltem
    Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease that is endemic in Central and West Africa. Until May 2022, sporadic cases associated with travel to Africa have been reported in the United States and the United Kingdom. After May 2022, many non-travel-related cases have started to be reported in European countries and the United States. Initial symptoms include fever, headache, myalgia, and lymphadenopathy. After 1-5 days from the onset of symptoms, rashes that concentrate on the face and extremities appear. The number of lesions can vary from a few to thousands. In the current pandemic, most cases have been seen in men who have sex with men (MSM) and present with vesiculopustular rash or genital lesions. These genital lesions can be mistaken for those of other sexually transmitted diseases, such as genital herpes. In this article, we present a case of monkeypox in a patient who presented with genital lesions and was initially suspected to have genital herpes.

    Tularemia: What Happens if Treatment is Delayed?
    (Bilimsel Tip Yayinevi, 2024) Dirik, Sukru; Tol, Cansu; Tasbakan, Meltem; Pullukcu, Husnu
    Tularemia is a zoonotic disease transmitted to humans through arthropod bites, direct contact with infected animals, or consumption of water and food contaminated with animal carcasses or waste. This disease presents with various clinical courses and is endemic in our country. Anamnesis has an important role in diagnosis. Patients presenting with tonsillopharyngitis may cause a delay in diagnosis. If the initiation of antibiotic therapy is delayed, the clinical course is directly affected and the complication rate increases significantly. In this article, we present a case initially diagnosed with streptococcal tonsillopharyngitis, who underwent treatment with multiple antibiotics. Due to the delayed initiation of appropriate antibiotic therapy, the treatment duration was prolonged, leading to the development of various complications.
