Meningeal anthrax is a very rare complication of the cutaneous, respiratory and gastrointestinal form of anthrax infection. Anthrax bacilli, most commonly enter the body via the skin, and the organism then disseminates to the central nervous system via the hematogenous or lymphatic routes leading to fatal bacterial meningitis, even with intensive antibacterial therapy.
脑膜炭疽是皮肤型、呼吸型和胃肠型炭疽感染非常罕见的并发症。炭疽杆菌最常通过皮肤进入人体,然后该病原体通过血行或淋巴途径扩散至中枢神经系统,即便进行强化抗菌治疗,也会导致致命的细菌性脑膜炎。
