Anthrax Shape and SizeAnthrax Shape and Size
Bacteria cells are the long, curved cells.
Human cells are the larger, rounded cells.

Anthrax SporesAnthrax Spores
False-color spores Small circles are spores
The spore stage is useful in making biological weapons. It will survive in conditions that will kill a living cell.

CutaneousCutaneous
Cutaneous anthraxMost anthrax infections occur through a cut on the skin. About 2,000 cases are reported annually.
SymptomsSkin infections begin as an itchy bump which over 2-6 days develops into a boil and then a depressed black skin lesion.

EffectsAfter the spores germinate they release toxins which damage the skin tissues. The disease can spread throughout the body, but deaths are rare. With treatment mortality is less than 1%.
TreatmentThe antibiotic being used to treat the current cases in the US is ciprofloxacin, known in the UK as ciproxin.

Pulmonary AnthraxPulmonary Anthrax
Inhalation / Pulmonary anthraxThis is the rarest form of the disease. Between 1900 and 1978 only 18 cases were recorded in the US.
SymptomsInitially coughs and sneezes, much like a common cold. Within 36 hours chest pains, severe breathing problems and shock will develop. This type of anthrax usually results in death after about two days.
![Page 18: cbsnews/video/watch/?id=1339187n](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813c8d550346895da6338f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pulmonary AnthraxPulmonary Anthrax
EffectsThe spores are absorbed through the alveoli into the lymph system. They may not become active for up to two months. Once they germinate they release toxins which rapidly leads to hemorrhaging. Any delay administering antibiotics will reduce the chances of survival. Mortality rate for this type of anthrax is about 89%.
TreatmentThe antibiotic being used to treat the current cases in the US is ciprofloxacin, known in the UK as ciproxin.

Notice the dark red patches in the otherwise bright red lung tissue. The dark parches are the site of infection.

Gastrointestinal AnthraxGastrointestinal Anthrax
Gastrointestinal anthraxThis type of the disease is rare and develops after a person eats meat contaminated with anthrax.
SymptomsIntestinal anthrax is characterized by acute inflammation of the gut. Initial nausea, loss of appetite, fever and vomiting is followed by abdominal pain, vomiting of blood and acute diarrhea.

EffectsWithout treatment it results in death for 24% to 60% of cases.
TreatmentAnthrax can be treated with antibiotics.
