Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Ophthalmologists should be aware of the signs and symptoms of anthrax, although it is a rare disease in humans. We report our successful treatment of three patients with cutaneous lesions in the periorbital area. CASES:In this study, we report on the treatment of three female patients who were initially diagnosed as having preseptal cellulitis. OBSERVATIONS:Gram-positive robs were revealed in the microscopic examination of scrapings taken from the lesions. Bacillus anthracis was found in only two of the three scraping-material cultures. Intravenous penicillin G was administered in all cases. Black and necrotic eschar, which is characteristic of anthrax, developed on the eyelids of all three patients during treatment. At the final examinations of the patients after the completion of treatment, we recognized the development of cicatrisation, lagophthalmos, and slight ectropion in the upper eyelid of the first patient, and, in the second patient, restriction of upper eyelid movement and development of a corneal scar from exposure keratopathy and ectropion. The cutaneous lesions healed without any eyelid pathology in the third patient. CONCLUSION:Although it is a rare disease in humans, anthrax should be considered in the differential diagnosis of preseptal and orbital cellulitis.
