is the causative agent of anthrax, primarily a disease of herbivorous animals, which can be accidentally transmitted to humans. Three cases of cutaneous human anthrax were recorded in August 2020 in Dolj county, Romania. These cases included livestock farmers (husband and wife, as well as a man from their entourage). The women presented malignant edema, which required surgery for compartment syndrome; and the men presented the common form of cutaneous anthrax. According to the laboratory investigation, two cases complied with the criteria in the case definition. All cases were successfully treated with antibiotics and the women received reconstructive plastic surgery of the skin defects, restoring normal hand function. The contact with sick animals was ruled out by the health authorities concluding that it was the contamination of pre-existing skin lesions with spores from the soil, the anthracogenic area.
是炭疽病的病原体，主要引发食草动物疾病，可意外传播给人类。2020年8月，罗马尼亚多尔日县记录了3例人类皮肤炭疽病例。这些病例包括家畜养殖户（一对夫妻以及他们随行的一名男子）。女性患者出现恶性水肿，因间隔综合征需要进行手术；男性患者表现为常见的皮肤炭疽形式。根据实验室调查，2例符合病例定义标准。所有病例均通过抗生素成功治愈，女性患者接受了皮肤缺损的整形修复手术，手部功能恢复正常。卫生当局排除了与患病动物的接触，得出结论认为是土壤（炭疽病源区）中的孢子污染了先前存在的皮肤病变。
