Antraz pulmonar começa abruptamente, geralmente 1-3 dias (variação, 1-60 dias) após a inalação dos esporos do antraz com 1-5 µm de diâmetro. O número de esporos necessários para causar o antraz pulmonar varia. Esta forma se apresenta inicialmente com sintomas inespecíficos, incluindo febre baixa e tosse não produtiva. Os pacientes podem relatar desconforto subesternal no início da doença. Os pacientes podem melhorar temporariamente antes de rápida deterioração clínica com mediastinite hemorrágica. Após a melhora inicial, o antraz por inalação progride rapidamente, causando febre alta, falta de ar grave, taquipneia, cianose, diaforese profusa, hematêmese e dor torácica, que pode ser grave o suficiente para mimetizar infarto agudo do miocárdio. | |||

Pulmonary anthrax begins abruptly, usually 1-3 days (range, 1-60 d) after inhaling anthrax spores that are 1-5 µm in diameter. The number of spores needed to cause pulmonary anthrax varies. This form presents initially with nonspecific symptoms, including a low-grade fever and a nonproductive cough. Patients may report substernal discomfort early in the illness. Patients may improve temporarily before rapidly deteriorating clinically with haemorrhagic mediastinitis. After the initial improvement, inhalation anthrax progresses rapidly, causing high fever, severe shortness of breath, tachypnoea, cyanosis, profuse diaphoresis, hematemesis, and chest pain, which may be severe enough to mimic acute myocardial infarction. | |||
