About This Issue: Due to their anatomic, physiologic, developmental, and behavioral characteristics, children are particularly vulnerable to bioterrorism agents. The symptoms associated with most bioterrorism agents can be dif?cult to differentiate from common childhood illnesses, as most biological weapons are associated with clinical presentations that mimic nonspeci?c febrile illnesses. It is extremely important that emergency clinicians are able to recognize unusual illness patterns that could distinguish a natural outbreak from a bioterrorism attack. This issue reviews the highest-risk bioterrorism agents and provides guidance for diagnosing and managing pediatric patients who have been exposed to these agents. You will learn: • Which pediatric-speci?c characteristics make children more vulnerable to bioterrorism agents • How to distinguish a natural disease outbreak from a bioterrorism attack • Where to ?nd online resources that can provide support during a bioterrorism crisis • Common presentations associated with the CDC Category A bioterrorism agents: anthrax (Bacillus anthracis), botulism (Clostridium botulinum toxin), plague (Yersinia pestis), smallpox (Variola major), tularemia (Francisella tularensis), viral hemorrhagic fevers (?loviruses [eg, Ebola, Marburg] and arenaviruses [eg, Lassa, Machupo]) • Preferred treatment and postexposure prophylaxis for children who have been exposed to Category A bioterrorism agents Abstract: Due to their anatomic, physiologic, developmental, and behavioral characteristics, children are particularly vulnerable to bioterrorism agents.
