CONCORD, N.H. — Anthrax spores that infected a New Hampshire woman are the same strain as spores found on an electrical outlet and two drums used at a gathering she attended in early December, medical investigators said.
Test results received Thursday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the match, bolstering the theory that the woman swallowed anthrax spores during a Dec. 4 drum circle, officials said. The woman, in critical condition in a Boston hospital, has an extremely rare form of anthrax involving the gastrointestinal system. Anthrax infection from natural sources is rare in developed countries but occurs regularly in poor nations.
