PRO/AH/EDR> Anthrax - Kenya (04): (KB) human, bovine, susp, NOT

Anthrax -- Kenya
I am reliably informed by a known source in Kenya that, based on information from the Ministry of Health, anthrax was not confirmed. Dying as quickly as this victim did would suggest that he had a heart attack -- tragic, but everyday.
We still don't know what the butchered cow died of, but as no human cases of anthrax have been reported in relation to the meat distributed by boda-boda, we might assume for the present that she did not die of anthrax.
