Abstract
A seriously ill patient with circulatory collapse, fever, acute renal failure, and progressive respiratory failure had dramatic improvement after treatment with imipenem/cilastatin sodium. During the treatment period, a diagnosis of tularemia was established serologically. This case suggests the efficacy of imipenem/cilastatin in the treatment of tularemia.
