One-year health assessment of adult survivors of Bacillus anthracis infection
Article Abstract:
Studies indicate that many of the anthrax infected survivors continued to report significant health problems and poor life adjustment 1 year after onset of bioterrorism-related anthrax disease. This study aimed to generate hypotheses about the relationship between the anthrax infection and persistent somatic symptoms, by reviewing medical outcome data and responses to health assessment instruments.

Article Abstract:
Public health officials from the US Centers for Disease Control discuss the progress that has been made for responding to a terrorist attack using biological weapons. Despite this progress, the inability to handle an increase in influenza cases in Northern California in 1998 means many hospitals are not prepared for a major bioterrorist attack.
