Antrax (Anthrax, charbon, Milzbrand, sibirskaja jazva, wąglik) je zoonóza, která postihuje jak herbivorní zvířata, tak i člověka. Odolné antraxové endospory mohou inhalací způsobit u lidí smrtelná onemocnění. Této jejich schopnosti se zneužívá v biologické válce i v bioterorizmu. Největší zdravotní riziko zde představuje záměrná primární aerosolizace antraxových spor.

Anthrax

Anthrax is a zoonosis, which occurs not only in herbivores but also in humans. The resistant anthrax spores inhaled precipitate a fatal disease. This ability of spore-bearing particles is misused in biological warfare and terrorism. An intentional primary aerosolization of anthrax spores poses the greatest risk to human health. The goal of hte following article is to refamiliarize physicians and medical-care personnel with the current understanding of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of anthrax.
