Anthrax or Malignant Pustule

This is an acute infection from cattle, caused by bacillus anthracis. It penetrates the abrasions or wounds, where one or more pustules form, two or three days after infection. After one or two days, its center sloughs and the neighbouring glands swell and continue to spread. Severe constitutional symptoms supervene.
