The 2001 anthrax attacks on the United States brought bioterrorism to the forefront of the medical community. Because many bioterrorist agents produce cutaneous disease, dermatologists will likely be first responders during a future attack. Despite this, many dermatologists are not adequately prepared to deal with a bioterrorism attack. It is critical that all first responders be able to recognize symptoms of bioterrorism-related disease and prepared to respond to a bioterrorist attack to minimize threats to public health. This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of diseases caused by potential biowarfare agents that produce cutaneous manifestations, and also provides information regarding reporting and containment of possible bioterrorism-related diseases.
2001 年美国炭疽袭击事件将生物恐怖主义推到了医学界的前沿。由于许多生物恐怖主义制剂会导致皮肤疾病，皮肤科医生很可能会成为未来袭击事件的第一批响应者。尽管如此，许多皮肤科医生仍未做好充分准备来应对生物恐怖袭击。所有急救人员都能够识别与生物恐怖主义相关疾病的症状并准备好应对生物恐怖袭击，以最大程度地减少对公共健康的威胁，这一点至关重要。本文回顾了潜在生物战剂引起的具有皮肤表现的疾病的诊断和治疗方法，并提供了有关报告和控制可能的与生物恐怖主义相关疾病的信息。
