Abstract

Recent events of war, terrorist attacks, and mail-borne anthrax exposure have produced increasing awareness of potential bioterrorism attacks in the United States and other parts of the world. Physicians and healthcare personnel play a key role in identifying potential bioterrorist attacks. Early recognition and preparedness for bioterrorism-associated illnesses is especially important for neurologists because most bioterrorism agents can directly or indirectly affect the nervous system. This article reviews the neurologic manifestations, diagnosis, and treatments of syndromes caused by potential bioterrorism agents, as well as the potential side effects of vaccines against some of these agents.

摘要

近期的战争事件、恐怖袭击以及通过邮件传播的炭疽杆菌暴露，已使美国和世界其他地区对潜在的生物恐怖主义袭击有了越来越高的认识。医生和医护人员在识别潜在的生物恐怖主义袭击方面发挥着关键作用。对于神经科医生而言，早期识别和防范与生物恐怖主义相关的疾病尤为重要，因为大多数生物恐怖主义制剂可直接或间接影响神经系统。本文综述了由潜在生物恐怖主义制剂引起的综合征的神经学表现、诊断和治疗方法，以及针对其中一些制剂的疫苗的潜在副作用。
