ICD-10 Code A21.0 | Ulceroglandular tularemia Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Common symptoms include painful skin ulcers, swollen lymph nodes, fever, chills, and malaise. Patients may also experience localized pain at the site of infection.

Treatment typically involves antibiotics such as streptomycin or doxycycline. Supportive care for symptoms and wound management is also important.

Ulceroglandular tularemia is not transmitted from person to person; it is primarily contracted through contact with infected animals or their products.

ICD-10 Code A21.0 should be used when documenting cases of ulceroglandular tularemia, particularly when symptoms and clinical findings align with this diagnosis.
