Anthrax•Zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis
•Described in biblical times •First animal vaccine developed by Louis Pasteur in 1881
•Used for bioterrorism in 2001
![Page 3: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Bacillus anthracis
• Gram-positive aerobic bacteria
• Spores may remain viable in soil for years
• Spores inactivated by paraformaldehyde vapor, hypochlorite, phenol, or autoclave
• Toxins responsible for tissue damage and edema
![Page 4: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Anthrax Pathogenesis•Spores enters through broken skin or
mucous membranes
•Germinate in macrophages, replicate in lymph nodes and intracellular space
•Bacteria produce antiphagocytic capsule
•Production of toxins cause tissue destruction and edema
![Page 6: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Anthrax Pathogenesis• Inhaled spores may reside in alveoli without
germination for weeks
•Antibiotics effective against vegetative form but not spores
•Disease may develop after antibiotics discontinued
•Delayed onset not described for cutaneous or gastrointestinal forms
![Page 7: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Anthrax Clinical Features
• Three clinical forms–cutaneous (most common in natural exposure situations)
–gastrointestinal (rare)
–inhalation
![Page 8: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cutaneous Anthrax• Incubation period 1-12 days
•Papule, then vesicle, then necrotic ulcer (eschar) with black center
•Usually painless
•Case-fatality:–without antibiotics – 5%-20%–with antibiotics - <1%
![Page 9: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Gastrointestinal Anthrax
• Incubation period 1-7 days
• Pharyngeal involvement includes oropharyngeal ulcerations with cervical adenopathy and fever
• Intestinal involvement includes abdominal pain, fever, bloody vomiting or diarrhea
• Case-fatality estimated at 25-60%
![Page 10: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Inhalation Anthrax• Incubation period: 1-7 days (range up to 43
days)
• Prodrome of cough, myalgia, fatigue, and fever
• Rapid deterioration with fever, dyspnea, cyanosis and shock, often with radiographic evidence of mediastinal widening
• Case fatality: –without antibiotic treatment – 86%- 97%–with antibiotic treatment - 75% (45% in 2001)
![Page 11: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Anthrax Laboratory Diagnosis
• Gram stain of clinical samples (skin lesion, blood, pleural fluid, CSF) • Culture

Anthrax Vaccine Schedule• Initial doses at 0, 2, and 4 weeks
• Additional doses at 6, 12, and 18 months
• Annual booster doses thereafter
• Alternative schedules being investigated
![Page 24: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Anthrax VaccinePreexposure Vaccination
• Persons working with production quantities or concentrations of B. anthracis cultures
• Persons engaged in activities with a high potential for production of aerosols containing B. anthracis
• Persons with increased risk of exposure to intentional release of B. anthracis (e.g., certain military personnel)
![Page 25: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
•No efficacy data for postexposure vaccination of humans
•Postexposure vaccination alone not effective in animals
•Combination of vaccine and antibiotics appears effective in animal model
Anthrax VaccinePostexposure Vaccination
![Page 26: Anthrax and Anthrax Vaccine Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine- Preventable Diseases National Immunization Program Centers for Disease Control and.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052603/56649ebc5503460f94bc4de7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Anthrax Postexposure Prophylaxis Vaccine Combined with Antibiotics
• Henderson, et al (1956): earlier PA-based vaccine– Methods: 5 days of penicillin compared to penicillin plus
postexposure vaccination– Results: 9 of the 10 receiving just penicillin died, while
all of the macaques receiving both penicillin and vaccine survived
• Friedlander et al (1993): aluminum hydroxide PA filtrate vaccine (current FDA-licensed vaccine)– Methods: 30 days of various antibiotics compared to 30
days of doxycycline plus postexposure vaccination– Results: 9 of the 10 animals in the doxycycline-alone arm
survived, while all receiving doxycycline and vaccine survived
