"<p>A second Glasgow heroin user has died from an anthrax infection,  health officials have confirmed.<br /><br />The man, who was being treated at the  Glasgow Royal Infirmary, was one of at least four heroin users to test positive  for an anthrax infection.<br /><br />The first death came last week at the city's  Victoria Infirmary. That death was confirmed by health officials to come as a  result of contracting anthrax. A woman at that hospital, also a heroin user, is  thought to be infected with anthrax and is being treated currently.<br /><br />The  fourth confirmed anthrax infection was recently confirmed in Lanarkshire. The  infected, also a drug-injecting heroin user, is being treated at Monklands  District General Hospital.<br /><br />A third drug user's death is currently under  investigation as to whether or not it was anthrax related, though no  confirmation has been announced yet.<br /><br />There have been no new drug  injecting heroin users with infections admitted to hospitals in the west of  Scotland since the weekend,\" Dr. Syed Ahmed, a consultant on public health  medicine, told Digital Journal. \"I urge all drug injecting heroin users to be  extremely alert and to seek urgent medical advice if they experience an  infection. Drug injecting is extremely risky and dangerous. The possible  presence of a batch of heroin contaminated with anthrax makes drug injecting  even riskier and even more dangerous.\"<br /></p>"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
