Clinical manifestations include fever, enlarged lymph nodes, skin ulcers, conjunctival congestion, ulcers, inflammation of the respiratory and digestive tracts, and toxemia. Tula bacteria can be used as pathogenic bacteria in biological warfare. Infected people will have symptoms such as high fever, body pain, glandular enlargement and difficulty in swallowing.
