Book excerpt: This 9th edition has been revised and updated to better present our current understanding of the optimal medical management of diseases and syndromes caused by biological threat agents. Medical defense against the use of pathogens and toxins as battlefield weapons, or in terrorism, is an unfamiliar yet important subject to many military and civilian healthcare providers. The US military has pursued research relevant to the medical defense against biological threat agents (bio-agents) since World War II, first in concert with an offensive weapons program, then -- for the past 50 years -- as a purely defensive research program. However, the 2001 terrorist attacks on the US mainland, and subsequent anthrax mail attacks, emphasized to national and local political leaders, lawmakers, medical opinion makers, and the public at large, that the bio-agent threat was real and required much more planning, training, and resources for an effective response.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical defense against biological warfare or terrorism is an area of study unfamiliar to most military and civilian health care providers during peacetime. In the aftermath of Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm, it became obvious that the threat of biological attacks against U.S. soldiers was real. Increased incidents and threats of domestic terrorism (e.g., New York City World Trade Center bombing), as well as numerous anthrax hoaxes around the country have brought the issue home to civilians as well. Other issues, including the disclosure of a sophisticated offensive biological warfare program in the former Soviet Union, have reinforced the need for increased training and education of health care professionals on how to prevent and treat biological warfare casualties. The Medical Management of Chemical and Biological Casualties Course taught at both USAMRIID and USAMRICD trains over 560 military medical professionals each year on both biological and chemical medical defense. The highly successful 3-day USAMRIID satellite course on the Medical Management of Biological Casualties has reached over 40,000 medical personnel over the last three years. Through this handbook and the training courses noted above, medical professionals will learn that effective medical countermeasures are available against many of the bacteria, viruses, and toxins that might be used as biological weapons against our military forces or civilian communities. New chapters have been added on melioidosis, the medical management of a biological weapon attack, and the use of epidemiologic clues in determining whether an outbreak might have been intentionally spread. In addition, a reference appendix has been added for those interested in more in-depth reading on this subject. The handbook serves as a concise pocket-sized manual that will guide medical personnel on the front lines in the prophylaxis and management of biological casualties. (89 refs.)
