Sulfur mustard is a chemical warfare agent of historical and current interest. Favored militarily because of its ability to incapacitate rather than its ability to kill, its use results in large numbers of casualties requiring prolonged, intensive care. In light of recent threats of chemical warfare and the possibilities of chemical acts of terrorism, North American physicians should be knowledgeable of its effects and the care of its victims.
硫芥是一种在历史上和当下都备受关注的化学战剂。因其使人丧失能力而非致死的特性而在军事上受到青睐，它的使用导致大量人员伤亡，需要长期的重症护理。鉴于近期化学战的威胁以及化学恐怖主义行为的可能性，北美医生应该了解其影响以及对受害者的护理。
