3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document. 3.1 Anthrax anthrax An acute zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. Mainly occurs in livestock houses, with herbivores such as cattle, sheep and horses being the most Susceptible. Humans get sick mainly through contact with animals suffering from anthrax or contaminated animal products, and environmental infections. The main clinical type is cutaneous anthrax, A few are pulmonary anthrax and intestinal anthrax, which can be secondary to sepsis and meningitis. Cutaneous anthrax has a low mortality rate, and other types of anthrax have a high mortality rate.

4 Diagnosis basis

4.1 Epidemiological history Within 14 days before the onset of illness, have been in contact with suspected anthrax disease, dead animals or their remains, or have eaten suspected anthrax disease, dead animal meat Or its products, or inhale dust suspected to be contaminated by Bacillus anthracis, or engage in close contact with animal products such as fur, and research with Bacillus anthracis Investigate the use of related occupations, or engage in activities such as breeding, grazing, farming, or excavation in areas that may be contaminated by anthrax spores. 4.2 Clinical manifestations and classification 4.2.1 Skin anthrax Unexplained macules, papules, blisters, swelling and infiltration of surrounding tissues appear on the local skin of exposed parts such as hands, forearms, face and neck. Then the central necrosis formed an ulcerative black eschar, and the skin around the eschar became red, swollen, painless, and slightly itchy. Typical skin damage It presents as a shallow ulcer with black scabs, small blisters around it, and non-pitting edema with extensive nearby tissues. In addition to skin lesions, patients often appear Symptoms and signs such as fever, headache, joint pain, general malaise, and local lymph node and splenomegaly. In a few severe cases, large areas of edema and necrosis were present. 4.2.2 Intestinal anthrax Fever, bloating, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, usually bloody or bloody stools. May have nausea, vomiting, and the vomit may contain blood Silk and bile. May be accompanied by symptoms and signs outside the digestive tract. 4.2.3 Pulmonary anthrax High fever, difficulty in breathing, chest pain and cough, and extremely thick bloody sputum. The lung signs often consist of scattered, fine rales. Chest X-ray Mainly manifested as widening of the mediastinum and pleural effusion. 4.2.4 Meningitis anthrax Severe headache, vomiting, stiff neck, then delirium, coma, and respiratory failure. Cerebrospinal fluid is mostly bloody. Mostly secondary to 4.2.1~ 4.2.3, it may also happen directly. 4.2.5 Septic anthrax High fever, chills, septic shock and diffuse intravascular coagulation (DIC) manifestations, bleeding spots or large ecchymosis on the skin, cavities Blood, respiratory and circulatory failure quickly appeared. Often secondary to 4.2.1 ~ 4.2.3, may also occur directly. 4.3 Laboratory inspection 4.3.1 Clinical specimens of patients, bacterial isolation and culture to obtain Bacillus anthracis (see Appendix A, Appendix B). 4.3.2 In the patient's serum sample, the anti-anthrax specific antibody test was positive (see Appendix C). 4.3.3 Clinical specimens of patients, microscopic examination revealed a large number of gram-positive large bacilli arranged in series at both ends. 4.3.4 In clinical specimens of patients, Bacillus anthracis-specific nucleic acid fragments were positive (see Appendix D). 4.3.5 The clinical specimen of the patient showed a positive Bacillus anthracis antigen test (see Appendix E). 4.3.6 Bacillus anthracis is obtained by bacterial isolation and culture on exposed animal specimens or exposed environmental specimens (see Appendix A and Appendix B).

5 Principles of diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, etc.

6 Diagnosis

6.1 Suspected cases Have 4.1, and have one of the clinical manifestations of 4.2.1 to 4.2.5. 6.2 Clinical diagnosis cases A clinically diagnosed case can be diagnosed if one of the following is met. a) Suspected cases, and those who have any of the items in 4.3.2 to 4.3.6; b) Those with a clear epidemiological history and typical skin lesions. 6.3 Confirmed cases A confirmed case can be diagnosed if one of the following is met. a) Suspected cases or clinically diagnosed cases, and those with 4.3.1; b) Suspected cases or clinically diagnosed cases, and have double serum anti-anthrax specific antibodies of the patients in 4.3.2 that have positive conversion or titer Those who have increased by 4 times or more; c) Suspected cases or clinically diagnosed cases, with any 2 items in 4.3.2 ~ 4.3.6.

7 Differential diagnosis

7.1 Skin anthrax There is obvious edema in the early stage of anthrax lesions, itching but not painful, and not purulent. It can be related to furuncle, cellulitis, scab of tsutsugamushi, sheep pox, melioidosis, Plague, tularemia, erysipelas, syphilis, chancre, and purulent ulcer are differentiated. The patient's occupation and history of contact with sick animals are available for reference. 7.2 Intestinal anthrax Early intestinal anthrax should be differentiated from food poisoning, hemorrhagic necrotizing enteritis, dysentery, and acute abdomen. 7.3 Pulmonary anthrax Pulmonary anthrax viscous blood sputum is distinguished from foamy rust-colored sputum of lobar pneumonia, and it is distinguished from pneumonic plague and leptospirosis with diffuse lung hemorrhage Type phase identification. The effusion of pleurisy is bloody viscous fluid.
