named so in connection with the appearance of the formed siberiaazed carbuncule.
Bacterry is able to move into a dispute - a special protective shape of its
existence that helps her «live through» An unfavorable period of yours
existence. Therefore, the microorganism is extremely resistant to the external environment:
Easily tolerate high temperatures, withstands standard concentrations
Some disinfectants, resistant to dry. Even under pressure

fur clothing and t.NS. But most often, as already noted, entrance gates for
infections is the wound surface of the skin. At the same time in the place of penetration
A few days later a characteristic bubble appears with the elastic sector
skin and inflammation of the nearby lymphatic node. Constantly producing
Special protein toxin, bacterium leads not only to the tissue edema, but also to
Coloring (necrosis) of amazed plots. Local sensations are manifested in the form
Itching and burning. Over time, the bubble is bursting and turns into a black dense
Education - Carbuncoon, externally very reminding corner. Most often, Carbuncul
It happens one, but sometimes there may be more. There are cases when their number
reached twenty. During the ripening of the carbuncoon, the temperature sharply rises,
And other symptoms of intoxication are manifested in the form of common poor well-being,
Losses of appetite, headache and high fatigue. A week after
Clinical symptoms begin to fade, carbuncoon
rejects, and the wound surface is delayed, forming a scar.
If
The body is weakened, it is not excluded to enter the chopsticks of Siberian ulcers into the blood and
Distribution of infection throughout the body. It can be fraught with serious
Defeats of blood coating system, accumulation in the body of products
oxidation with a shear of acid-alkaline equilibrium in the acidic side, very
high temperature due to the strongest intoxication, acute renal
insufficiency, bloody diarrhea and vomiting. In this situation there is a danger
deadly outcome. True, the septic form of Siberian ulcers occurs very
seldom. More often an intestinal or pulmonary forms of the flow may occur, which
its clinical manifestations are no less dangerous than septic. So, for

and respiratory systems. Female outcome can come in 2-3 days.
Diagnosis and treatment of Siberian ulcers
Siberian ulcer is diagnosed based on clinical
data confirmed by bacteriological sowing with the release of pathogen and allergic
intradermal administration of killed bacteria of Siberian ulcers (confirms the diagnosis on
fifth day).
