Abstract

Background & Aims: Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by BACILLUS ANTHRACIS which is an aerobic sporulating gram positive rod. There are: cutaneous (95%); inhalation(5%); and infrequently pharyngeal and gastrointestinal anthrax. In rare instances, MENINGITIS and bactremia occurred. In anthrax MENINGITIS and SEPTICEMIA, there is a primary foci of infection such as cutaneous, pulmonary or gastrointestinal tract, which let the bacteria invade CNS through lymphatic or hematogenous routes. In this case, SEPTICEMIA and MENINGITIS occurred without any primary foci of infection.Case Report: A 27 years old rural woman was hospitalized with high fever and confusional state with possible diagnosis of MENINGITIS. She had a history of contact with herbivorous animals. There was no history of suspected cutaneous ulcer or respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. According to the possibility of acute bacterial MENINGITIS, Lumbar puncture was done and samples for blood culture were taken and empirical therapy was started. The patient died 36 hours after hospitalization. Results of two separate samples of blood culture and cerebro-spinal fluid culture were positive for BACILLUS ANTHRACIS.Discussion: Although anthrax MENINGITIS occurs infrequently, but it is important to think about it in any patient with presentation of acute MENINGITIS, particularly if there is a history of contact with domestic animals even without suspected cutaneous ulcer or respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms.
