Two Cases of Accidental Infection of Man by an Attenuated (Vaccine) Strain of Bacillus Anthracis

Abstract

Laboratory personnel who prepare anthrax spore vaccines as well as individuals who use such products are exposed to infection if the vaccine is placed in contact with a wound or bruise. The resulting infection is quite benign with formation of only a small necrotic focus at the site of inoculation, very limited edema, no general reaction - recovery in two weeks.
