Anthrax is an ancient disease of animals and men, caused by Bacillus anthracis. The diagnosis of cutaneous infection is relatively easy, but other clinical forms might escape recognition. We present two rare and fatal forms of anthrax: meningeal in a 33-year-old male shepherd and intestinal in a 4-year-old boy. The former was admitted to the hospital with complaints of headache, vomiting, fever, and decreased level of consciousness. The latter presented with abdominal pain and distension, vomiting, and fever. Both cases were proven by animal inoculation.
炭疽是一种古老的动物和人类疾病，由炭疽杆菌引起。皮肤感染的诊断相对容易，但其他临床形式可能会被忽视。我们介绍两种罕见且致命的炭疽形式：一例是 33 岁男性牧羊人罹患的脑膜炭疽，另一例是 4 岁男孩罹患的肠炭疽。前者因头痛、呕吐、发热和意识水平下降而入院。后者表现为腹痛、腹胀、呕吐和发热。两例均通过动物接种证实。
