An obsolete or archaic medical term for anthrax disease or related carbuncular skin infections.
From Greek 'anthrax' (coal or carbuncle), an older Latin-based medical term that has been replaced by the more direct 'anthrax' in modern medicine.
This is a medical ghost word—you might find it in ancient medical texts describing terrible skin diseases, but modern doctors never use 'anthracia' anymore because the disease became so well-understood they just call it anthrax!
