[Case of recurrent human anthrax occurring several weeks after the primary disease].

The carbuncle was located on the back of the right hand in the primary anthrax infection and on the lower third of the right leg in the secondary infection. In both cases the diagnosis of anthrax was confirmed bacteriologically and by the anthraxin test. The course of the secondary infection was less severe. The conclusion on the possibility for rare cases of anthrax recurring has been made. This fact may be important for the assessment of immunity.
