How to treat anthrax

Pulmonary anthrax is a virulent infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax is treatable as a bacterial infection. Penicillin remains the drug of choice for treatment, and in most cases Bacillus anthracis not resistant to penicillin. Pulmonary anthrax patients who exhibit respiratory difficulties may receive oxygen through nasal tubes or masks. If respiratory failure occurs, mechanical ventilation may be required to relieve symptoms. Anthrax is very difficult to treat in its advanced stage, especially when it shows systemic bleeding symptoms. Therefore, the key to anthrax treatment lies in early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. Any delay may cause the patient's condition to worsen and show serious consequences. At the same time, isolation should be strengthened.
