## Prognosis[edit | edit source]

The anthrax prognosis will depend on a number of factors, including:

* The type of anthrax (see Types of Anthrax)
* How early the anthrax is diagnosed
* The strain of anthrax bacteria (Bacillus anthracis)
* The patient's age and general health.

Early anthrax treatment for all anthrax types improves the anthrax prognosis.[1]
