Treatment of Gastrointestinal Anthrax Infection The treatment options of this infection comprise of antibiotics only. Antibiotics are an effective mode of eliminating these bacteria. The chances of success depend on how early they are administered. [digestion.ygoy.com]

What is the prognosis for anthrax infections? The prognosis for anthrax infections depends on the type of infection and how rapidly antibiotic treatment is initiated. [medicinenet.com]

Prognosis Anthrax is treatable if antibiotics are administered promptly and continued for 60 days. However, if treatment is delayed or administered improperly, the patient's chances of survival are drastically decreased [ 5 ]. [patient.info]

Prognosis: If treated early, people with cutaneous anthrax recover. Those with oropharyngeal or intestinal anthrax have a less favorable outcome, and people with inhalational anthrax have the worst outcomes. [emedicinehealth.com]

Pathophysiological characteristics. Cutaneous anthrax results from skin exposure to B. anthracis, presumably from surface contamination. [cid.oxfordjournals.org]

Additional studies of such proteases have implicated them in other pathophysiologic effects ( 61 ). Secondary changes with anthrax infection that may contribute to shock. [atsjournals.org]

In these situations, on the basis of pathophysiology, reported incubation periods, current expert clinical judgment, and lack of data, post-exposure prophylaxis might consist of antibiotic therapy for 7 to 14 days. [aetna.com]
