Abstract
A heroin user from Suffolk, England has died after being infected with anthrax. Europe has seen a recent outbreak of anthrax: 13 cases have been identified since early June 2012, including seven in the UK—five in England (including four fatalities), one in Scotland, and one in Wales. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) claims the source of the infection is heroin contaminated with anthrax spores. Whether the British cases were linked to the European outbreak, which has affected drug users in Denmark, France, and Germany is unclear.
