Cutaneous anthrax involving the genital area.
A 5-year-old girl was admitted with a lesion of the labia majora which was found to be owing to anthrax. She had been licked on the hand by a sick cow (which subsequently died) 5 days prior to admission to a health clinic and 8 days before admission to hospital.
