Anthrax is a name given in French language to two distinct infectious diseases. One corresponds to carbuncle which is a collection of boils. The other one corresponds to the English term anthrax. This condition has a clinical presentation and an outcome that vary according to the inoculation site being cutaneous, pulmonary or digestive, and to the bacterial and toxin spread in the body.
