炭疽病是一种由炭疽杆菌引起的疾病。该病主要影响食草动物,包括羊、牛、马和其他家畜。人类可能很少受到影响。我们检查了一名男性和两名女性患者的局部瘙痒性丘疹的眼睑。三例病例均形成坏死性溃疡,导致黑色病变。每例刮片均显示革兰氏阳性杆菌,培养物生长炭疽杆菌。所有3例患者对青霉素G静脉给药均有反应,2例患者的病变消退,留下疤痕。炭疽是一种罕见的疾病,但应考虑在鉴别诊断溃疡或脓疱的眼睑。
Anthrax is a disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. The disease affects primarily herbivores including sheep, cattle, horses, and other domestic animals. Humans may rarely be affected. We examined one male and two female patients with a localised itchy erythematous papule of the eyelid. A necrotising ulcer formed in each of the three cases resulting in a black lesion. Scraping in each case showed Gram positive rods and culture grew Bacillus anthracis. All three patients responded to the intravenous administration of penicillin G, and the lesion resolved leaving scars in two cases. Anthrax is a rare disease but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ulcers or pustules of the eyelids.
