dc.description.abstractAnthrax is an acute infection caused by Bacillus anthracis. Although it is a zoonotic disease that mainly affects herbivorous animals, it might also be contagious to humans by infected animals. The most common type is skin anthrax. When eyelid is involved; echymosis, bulla formation and necrosis can be observed. We report a 75 years old woman presenting with bilateral extensive lid echymosis and edema and diagnosed as anthrax. The clinical findings resolved with appropriate systemic and topical antibiotic treatment, and the lesions on the eyelid resulted with scatrizating ectropion. In failure of early diagnosis and treatment, there is a high risk of mortality and sequela with this particular disease which rarely involves eyelids.en_US
