Pulmonary anthrax is an acute zoonotic infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis infecting the human body. Humans can be infected by coming into contact with diseased animals and their products or by consuming diseased animals. According to the different infection routes, it can be classified into cutaneous anthrax, pulmonary anthrax and intestinal anthrax, etc. Among them, cutaneous anthrax is the most common, while case reports of pulmonary anthrax are rare. This article analyzes the clinical data of a case of occupational pulmonary anthrax diagnosed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and successfully treated, so as to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of pulmonary anthrax.
