In this retrospective study, 132 cases of anthrax observed in a Turkish hospital over a 14-year period (October 1986 to October 2000) were evaluated with respect to clinical features, therapy, and outcome. The results show that anthrax is a disease of significance in the Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey. Preventive measures such as education of the population and vaccination of animals against anthrax would reduce the incidence of the disease.
在这项回顾性研究中,对一家土耳其医院在14年期间(1986年10月至2000年10月)观察到的132例炭疽病例的临床特征、治疗方法及预后进行了评估。结果表明,炭疽病在土耳其东安纳托利亚地区是一种重要疾病。诸如对民众进行教育以及给动物接种炭疽疫苗等预防措施将降低该病的发病率。
