title: Animal carcass and eyelid anthrax: a case report.
abstract: Anthrax is a worldwide zoonosis of herbivores, which is caused by the spore-forming bacteria Bacillus anthracis, and humans become infected when they are exposed to infected animals and their tissues or the organism directly. In this report, we present a 13-year-old boy who developed eyelid anthrax after contact with a sheep carcass during his summer holiday that resulted in eyelid anthrax and cicatricial ectropion.
