Tularemia during pregnancy is exceedingly rare and has been reported infrequently in Europe. A review of the literature identified only 3 documented cases. Herein we report 4 tularemia cases occurring early in the second and third trimesters, which were successfully managed without any adverse pregnancy outcomes.
