Anthrax mortality: Mortality of inhaled inthrax is > than gi> cutaneous.

Yes: The mortality in decreasing incidence is pulmonary, GI and skin. Pulmonary anthrax is nearly always fatal if treatment is started after symptoms develop.

Yes: Mortality rate for untreated cutaneous anthrax is 10 -20 percent but less than 1% with correct antibiotic tx. The mortality rate for inhalation anthrax is around 75% (50 - 90 %) even with antibiotic therapy. Mortality rate for gastrointestinal anthrax is about 50 % (25 -60%). Effect of early antibiotic tx is uncertain for gi. Meningitis due to anthrax is just about 100% fatal.
