Tests  


 

Suspected anthrax  

* Blood culture, Bacillus anthracis: Blood cultures in anthrax often show growth of large gram-positive bacilli which form tenacious, nonhemolytic colonies when inoculated on agar plates .


 

Suspected anthrax meningitis .  

* Cerebrospinal fluid examination: Hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid showing pleocytosis, low glucose, and gram-positive rods on Gram stain is highly suggestive of anthrax meningitis .


 

Suspected anthrax meningitis  

* Cerebrospinal fluid culture: Bacillus anthracis is often cultured from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with anthrax meningitis .


 

Suspected inhalational anthrax  

* Plain chest X-ray: A widened or abnormal mediastinum on chest X-ray in a patient with clinical symptoms and a history of exposure strongly suggests inhalational anthrax .


 

Suspected inhalational anthrax  

* White blood cell count: An increased percentage of neutrophils with more band forms and a normal or mildly elevated WBC count may be seen in early inhalational anthrax .


 

Suspected cutaneous anthrax  

* Bacterial culture, Skin lesion sample, Bacillus anthracis: In patients with cutaneous anthrax, cultures of exudate from skin vesicles may reveal Bacillus anthracis organisms .


 

Suspected cutaneous anthrax  

* Gram stain microscopy, Skin lesion sample, Bacillus anthracis: A Gram stain of tissue revealing gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria suggests Bacillus anthracis infection .


 

Suspected anthrax meningitis  

* CT of head: CT of the head in anthrax meningitis may reveal multiple hemorrhages in deep gray matter, ventricles, and the subarachnoid space .


 

Suspected inhalational anthrax  

* CT of chest: Chest CT findings in inhalational anthrax may include mediastinal lymphadenopathy, pleural effusions, and infiltrates, as well as other abnormalities .


 

Suspected inhalation anthrax and pleural effusion on chest x-ray  

* Pleural fluid examination, Bacillus anthracis


 

Differential Diagnosis  

* Influenza

* Tularemia - Acute

* Plague - Acute

* Community acquired pneumonia - Acute

* Bacterial meningitis - Acute

* NECROTIC ARACHNIDISM

* Respiratory tract infection

* Inhalational anthrax

Procedural Therapy  


 

Reportable infectious diseases  

* Infectious disease notification: In the United States, specific infectious diseases must be reported to the state or local public health department .

* Airway management: Airway management must assume the first priority in the management of any seriously ill or injured patient .


 

Severe sepsis or septic shock  

* Intravenous fluid replacement: Rapid fluid infusion assists in achieving early goals of mean blood pressure of 65 mmHg, urinary output above 1 mL/kg/hour, central venous pressure 8 to 12 mmHg, and central venous oxygen saturation above 70% within the first 6 hours.

  1. I''m Charlotte Johnson,65  years old, Here in Edmonton, Canada. With the new herbal mix medicine I purchased from Dr James herbal mix medicine West Africa  was my only way to get rid of my Alzheimer's, the herbal  mix medicine effectively reversed my condition and alleviate all symptoms.  I was initially very hesitant to discuss my Alzheimer but I just hope it can still help someone. I feel this will be very important information for all Alzheimer patients, because the most violent element in society today is ignorance. Be it any condition, a healthy diet and natural herbs and roots medicine from Dr. James is the road to fast recovery. I had suffered Alzheimer for many years, I fought for proper medical recommendation, care  and all form of humane treatment with little improvement I went through many sleepless nights and periods of intense grief, as do most families. I was recommended by a friend to use Dr. James herbal mix medicine for my Alzheimer with high hope and assurance. I never doubted my friend but to contact Dr. James. And purchased His herbal mix medicine which was effective and I finally feel my Alzheimer is gone with no more symptoms. He also told me that he cures diseases such as  Lungs diseases, kidney diseases, Warts, Bipolar disorder, Shingles,  HPV, ALS, CANCER, NEPHROTIC SYNDROME, HIV / AIDS, Herpes virus, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic cancers, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, Glaucoma., Cataracts, Macular degeneration, Cardiovascular disease, Autism. Enlarged prostate, Osteoporosis. Alzheimer's disease, psoriasis, Tach Diseases, Lupus, Backache, dementia, skin cancer,.testicular Cancer, Leukemia, HEPATITIS A, B, C, Contact  the great one on his email    greatcureman@gmail.com
