Snips: Health officials are waiting for test results on about 30 African drums used at a local ministry center after they were unable to find a link between two of the instruments that tested positive for a form of anthrax and the Strafford County woman suffering from the disease.
Dr. Jose Montero, the state's public health director, stressed Monday the case is very complex considering the lack of precedence. The woman is the nation's first case of gastrointestinal anthrax, according to Dr. Elizabeth Talbot, an infectious disease professor at Dartmouth Medical School who is assisting Montero.
Adding to the complexity of the case is the fact the woman's drum is made of synthetic animal hide, while regular animal hides have been a source of naturally occurring anthrax before. Those cases have involved cutaneous and inhalation anthrax — not gastrointestinal anthrax, "which means somehow our patient had to ingest the anthrax," Montero said.
