[Inhalation anthrax].
The use of Bacillus anthracis as a biological weapon has the potential of causing considerable loss of human life compared to other pathogens. Inhalational anthrax has a very high mortality and can be induced by spraying an aerosol of anthrax spores. Research in recent years has increased our knowledge, especially of pathogenesis and treatment. A short review is presented here.
