CASES OF ANTHRAX IN MAN,

Abstract

Conclusions: Full grown cattle served as the source of spreading of anthrax infection among humans during the 1959 outbreak. A cutaneous form of anthrax was recorded exclusively. In persons who used raw milk from sick cows for food, anthrax wasn't recorded. In persons who received antianthrax serum as a prophylactic measure, a light course of illness was noted with some atypical clinical aspects. (Author)
