[Surgical treatment of a carbuncle].

The results of the treatment of 250 patients with a carbuncle of various location were analyzed retrospectively. A differential approach to choice of surgical method with consideration of the degree, phase and localization of inflammation is preferable. Early and radical surgery, antimicrobic drugs, infusion therapy make base of up-to-date and adequate treatment. In the phase of infiltration deep incision often stops the disease or promotes a decrease of the necrotic zone. In suppurations linear incisions were made only on the face for cosmetic reasons. In other areas a few large connected T-, [symbol: see text]-, [symbol: see text]- or cross-formed incisions were preferable. In 30 cases I-formed incision with two rectangular flaps was used.

Conservative approach in treating acute renal carbuncle.

During the years 1980-82 seven patients with renal carbuncles successfully underwent conservative treatment with antibiotics alone. Early diagnosis was made using excretory urography and nephrotomography, ultrasound and computerized tomography scan. Follow-up studies showed a normal kidney in six of the seven patients. One patient had a clinical remission, but ultrasound follow-up showed a small area in the right kidney with a few low-level echoes, representing focal scarring.

[Treatment of carbuncles].

The active aspiration of the wound is a method of mechanical antiseptics responsible for the removal of pyo-necrotic masses and accelerates the process of the wound cleaning. The method was used for the treatment of 90 patients, in 84 of them the carbuncles were opened. The results were good.

[Carbuncle (anthrax) as biological weapon].

The authors explain the anthrax pathogeny as necessary base to treat the systemic anthrax, that it can be secondary to a terrorist aggression, that until now it causes death to damaged people. For fear that a contamination with anthracis spores by a terrorist aggression, it is imposed to administrate chymeprotection to damaged people, because once it is appeared the symptoms of the systemic illness, the antibiotics don't stop the process evolution. For that reason, we think it is important to know the process pathogeny, where it can be found the keys for effective treatment of carbuncle sepsis.

[Carbuncle in humans and animals: modern aspects of an ancient disease].

Carbuncle, very remarkable disease in the past for its spreading, recently seems to be forgotten as risk for general population and exposed workers too, among them we remember especially veterinary physicians, breeders, tanners, etc. World epidemiological data aren't exact, but a lot of researchers in vary countries confirm that this is a present problem in many areas. Therefore it's indispensable to know correct diffusion of this disease, to fight it and other zoonosis in some environments and mostly in working ones, hoping phycians identify and declare new cases.

[Anthrax and carbuncle: two sides of the same coin].

The disease caused by Bacillus anthracis is one of the most critical concerns to the general public and public health authorities due both to the anthrax cases caused by the intentional release of the germ in the USA at the close of 2001 when letters and packages were contaminated with anthrax spores, and the current threat of biological warfare. After a brief excursus on the history of the terms Anthrax and Carbuncle, we survey the main evidence of anthrax found in the ancient literature, and deal with the identification of the pathogenic agent responsible for the disease and the subsequent discovery of the first anthrax vaccine and its use in order to control the spread of the disease in the cattle. Finally, we examine some of the most important episodes of occupational exposure to the Bacillus anthracis that occurred in the past two centuries and the preventive measures applied both to employees and the workplace.
