“…Şarbondan korunmak için hayvan üreticiliğinin denetlenmesi, kontrolsüz hayvan kesimlerinin önlenmesi, özellikle hastalığın endemik olduğu bölgelerde hayvanların şarbona karşı aşılanmaları, hastalığın ortaya çıktığı bölgelerde hayvanlara karantina uygulanması ve şarbon nedeniyle ölen hayvanların derin gömülmesi gibi önlemlerin uygulanması gerekmektedir. Ayrıca halkın hasta veya ölen hayvanları veteriner olmadan kesmemeleri veya yüzmemeleri, şüpheli hayvan leşlerine çıplak elle dokunmamaları ve şüpheli hayvan ölümlerini yetkililere bildirmeleri konusunda eğitilmesi de alınacak önlemler arasında olmalıdır (5,6). Ölen hastanın da bilmeden şarbonlu hayvanın kesim ve dağıtımına yardımcı olduktan sonra hastalandığı öğrenildi.…”

Objective: Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis that can be transmitted to humans from herbivorous animals such as sheep, goats and beef cattle, with infection passing through direct contact with the skin of infected animals, meat and wool, the ingestion of infected meat or the inhalation of spores. Depending on the point of entry of the bacteria, the disease can take three clinical forms, namely skin, respiratory and gastrointestinal system anthrax. Although there is a suggested prophylaxis following the inhalation of B. anthracis spores as a biological weapon, there is a lack of data on treatment after direct contact with infected animals or the ingestion of infected meat. This study proposes a post-contact management method for children who come into contact with an anthrax-infected animal.

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) can be seen in a variety of clinical features, from mild infection to life-threatening serious necrotizing infections. Etiology of SSTIs vary according to geographical characteristics, patient's immunity, and risk factors. In recent years, complicated SSTIs are more frequent due to increase in the elderly and immunosuppressed patient population. Management of these infections becomes more difficult with the increase of resistant microorganisms. In this review article, SSTIs, both complicated and non-complicated, were classified on the basis of clinical view and patient characteristics, and recent changes related to diagnosis and treatment were reviewed in accordance with the recommendations of international guidelines. In addition, infectious diseases such as anthrax and tularemia were briefly outlined, of which epidemiological studies in Turkey are performed.

“…Şarbon, Bacillus anthracis ile meydana gelen ve ot yiyen hayvanlarda görülen zoonotik bir infeksiyondur. Enfekte hayvanlarla ya da kontamine hayvan ürünleri ile temas sonucu direkt veya indirekt yolla bulaşabilmektedir (1,2). Şarbonun dünyada yıllık 20/100 bin kişide görüldüğü belirtilmektedir.…”

Anthrax, is a zoonotic infection which is rarely seen in pregnants and it is transmitted by contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products. There are three different forms, most commonly on the skin, in the lung and in the gastrointestinal tract. It is related with maternal and fetal death. Due to the fact that the appropriate medication and the correct dose selection are difficult and it is a risky population in terms of the reliability of the treatment applied; a guideline was prepared by the CDC in 2010 for preventions to be taken for pregnancy and postpartum episodes of anthrax. Taking the necessary measures to prevent contact, if possible, as a first step; after exposure, qualified health care should be provided in coordination with public health centers. Prevention of preterm births is important. Vaccination is recommended in pregnant women who have a high probability of exposure. If exposure is low, vaccination can be delayed to post-delivery. Antibiotic prophylaxis with ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin is recommended for high exposure. Symptoms and findings may be misleading due to physiological changes in pregnant women with anthrax; diagnostic methods should be used by assessing benefit / loss ratio. Severe infections should be monitored in intensive care units and should be prepared for birth at any time; interventions should be the same as non-pregnant populations.
