COUPLE BELIEVED
TO HAVE TULAREM|A
Doctor Diagnoses MaIady of
D. L. NunnaIy and Wife
as rabbit Fever"

D. L. Nunnaly Of the HOO block
New Hampshire avenue and his wife
are confined to their home, suffering
from a disease which clinical tests
made by DR.. Charles x. Suraci, the at
tending physician, point to tularenia.
or the dreaded rabbit fever" Blood
tests were being completed today, fol-
lowing an inconclusive test made two
weeks ago, which are expected to con-
firm the clinical diagnosis of the case
made by DR.. Suraci and two medical
associates whom he called in con-
Suitation on the cases.
DR.. Suraci describes the tularemia
germ as one of the most contagious
ever encountered by the medical pro-
fession, and says there is no known spe-
cific cure for the disease other than
constant care and attention to the out
ward manifestations, which, in the
early stages of the disease, are similar
to those of old-fashioned grippe or in
fluenza. The disease is far from being
necessarily fatal, however, DR.. Suraci's
investigations have proved, only about
5 per cent of the known cases Of
tularemia having resulted fatally.
Hunted and Shot Rabbits.
Mr.. Nunnally is the proprietor of a
lunchroom in the 1900 block of M
street. On November Is he went out
to nearby Virginia on a rabbit-hunting
expedition. He killed a few rabbits,
which were cleaned and dressed on the
following day by Mrs. Nunnally. Mr..
Nunnally went rabbit hunting agein on
November IT, and again Mrs. Nunnal-
ly cleaned the rabbits.
He was to go again on November %,
but the previous day he developed a
feeling of lassitude and ran tempera-
alt hi n r.
time of grippe and nothing more, he
kept his hunting date for the following
day, and again went into the field in
search of more rabbits. On his return
he became conscious of a soft spot on
his thumb and at the same time OBJ
served red streaks running up his arm
About the same day his wife noticed
similar symptoms. DR.. Suraci was
called and after consultation with other
| physicians, diagnosed the cases as
| tularemia, even though blood tests were
negative at the time.
Three weeks have elapsed since the
| first infection was possible, and the
blood test now being taken, DR.. Surac
believes, will show positive traces Of
! tularemia. Even If they are negative
! he adds, he will continue to follow the
medical prescription for tularemis
| treatment.
/ Insect Infects Rabbits.
Handling of rabbits or their flesl
which contains the tularemia bacteri;
may result in infection, he says
Thorough cooking of the flesh of tn
rabbit will destroy the tularemia germ
| however.
The germ is not native to rabbits
but is transmitted to them by flea o
fly which remains in rabbit fur an
| bites the animal Tularemia has beel
more prevalent this year than at an
other time, DR. Suracia says, and ap
parently the number of infected rabbit
is increasing.
The course of the disease runs from
three weeks to several months.
