Main description:

The book will assist in the new public health response to the threats from bioterrorism and other public health disease by combining established principles of disease management protocols with effective differential diagnosis algorithms. Although no single approach answers all of the challenges confronting our public health system, this book fulfills many of the requirements. The author has collated the current diagnostic criteria for all health-related bioterrorist threats and other public health disorders. The book represents the print version of this project and is intended to be a quick reference for the busy clinician.
