Abstract

A terrorist attack using biological agents is harder to recognize than a chemical and nuclear incident. Communication with other departments and groups--such as the hospital lab, infectious disease and infection control departments, and state public health agencies--can help identify a biological attack quickly. Be aware of significant patterns in your patient population, such as a large number of patients with flu-like symptoms in the summertime.
