About

This article reviews cases of anthrax in children from 1900 to 2005. It describes three types of anthrax: inhalational, gastrointestinal, and cutaneous. The review looks at how these forms affect children differently than adults. It also highlights symptoms, treatments, and outcomes for each type. The goal is to help doctors better understand and manage anthrax in young patients by learning from past cases. This information can improve diagnosis and care for affected children in the future.
