Prognosis
The anthrax prognosis will depend on a number of factors, including:
- The type of anthrax (see Types of Anthrax)
- How early the anthrax is diagnosed
- The strain of anthrax bacteria (Bacillus anthracis)
- The patient’s age and general health.
Early anthrax treatment for all anthrax types improves the anthrax prognosis.[1]
