Abstract

This review presents an overview of the different classes of chemical warfare agents and the toxidromes associated with these agents. An increasing terrorist threat to Denmark and the Danish armed forces operating internationally mandates increased awareness of chemical warfare agents in clinicians working with emergency and military medicine. Rapid recognition of the classical toxidromes produced by different classes of chemical warfare agents aids in providing the medical support necessary for reducing mortality and morbidity.
