Superintendent A. Krishna Murthy, in charge of King George Hospital (KGH), said on [Wed 27 Dec 2017] that the condition of the 5 anthrax-affected people of Pinapadu village, of Chintapalli mandal, is stable.

5 individuals aged 23, 60, 50, 25 and 30 had consumed stale meat of a cow. They subsequently developed ulcers and lesions and were initially admitted to the Primary Health Centre (PHC) at Lothugedda.

After 4 days of treatment at the PHC, they were shifted to the KGH on Sun evening. "The victims were found to be affected by cutaneous anthrax, which can be cured with drugs. Of the other two varieties of anthrax - pulmonary and intestinal - pulmonary is the most dangerous," Dr. Krishna Murthy said.
