Abstract

Special Operations Forces (SOF) medical personnel function worldwide in environments where endemic anthrax (caused by Bacillus anthracis infection) may present in one of three forms: cutaneous, pulmonary, or gastrointestinal. This report presents a rare periocular anthrax case from Haiti to emphasize the need for heightened diagnostic suspicion of unusual lesions likely to be encountered in SOF theaters.

摘要

特种作战部队（SOF）的医务人员在全球范围内开展工作，所处环境中可能存在三种形式的地方性炭疽（由炭疽杆菌感染引起）：皮肤炭疽、肺炭疽或胃肠炭疽。本报告介绍了一例来自海地的罕见眼周炭疽病例，以强调在特种作战部队战区对可能遇到的异常病变提高诊断怀疑的必要性。
