title: Anthrax of the hand: case report.
abstract: A patient developed anthrax of his left long finger after an accidental injection with Bacillus anthracis. Early treatment with chemotherapy probably prevented the cultures from becoming positive. The patient recovered, and split-thickness skin grafting was needed for the finger wound.
