The occurrence of anthrax in 62 cattle and 27 humans in Pabna milk shed areas of Bangladesh was recorded during 1980-84. There were 62 sick animals: 43 (69%) died, 14 (23%) recovered with penicillin treatment and only five (8%) were slaughtered in a moribund stage, for human consumption. All 27 people who developed malignant pustules were cured with penicillin treatment within 14 days.Entities:
