Bacillus anthracis meningitis during an outbreak of injectional anthrax, Scotland, UK  S. Dewar, J.R. Weir-McCall, L. Batchelor, S. Cole, B.J.

Fig. 1 Unenhanced axial CT. Head appearances of three cases of B. anthracis meningitis. (A) Case 1, extensive subarachnoid blood is present with small occipital haemorrhage. There is also effacement of lateral and third ventricles and slightly reduced attenuation of white matter indicative of early cerebral oedema. (B) Case 2, extensive subarachnoid blood within cerebral sulci and interhemispheric fissure with small subcortical haemorrhages in right frontal lobe and left parietal lobe. (C) Case 3, extensive subarachnoid blood within supra- and infratentorial cerebrospinal fluid spaces, and small cerebral haemorrhage with adjacent oedema in left frontal lobe.
