Abstract
Six cases of cutaneous anthrax in children, seen during a period of 2 years from the southern part of Iran, are reported. These cases probably represent only a small fraction of the cases occurring in the area. Most of the patients were in poor general condition, with high fever, leucocytosis, and massive edema. They were successfully treated with high doses of parenteral penicillin and corti-costeroids.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
