title: [Carbuncle in humans and animals: modern aspects of an ancient disease].
abstract: Carbuncle, very remarkable disease in the past for its spreading, recently seems to be forgotten as risk for general population and exposed workers too, among them we remember especially veterinary physicians, breeders, tanners, etc. World epidemiological data aren't exact, but a lot of researchers in vary countries confirm that this is a present problem in many areas. Therefore it's indispensable to know correct diffusion of this disease, to fight it and other zoonosis in some environments and mostly in working ones, hoping phycians identify and declare new cases.
