Abstract

The threat of bioterrorism with use of viruses is increasing. Smallpox, encephalitis, and hemorrhagic fevers are the most likely diseases to result from viral deployment. It is critical that all healthcare professionals become familiar with the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and prevention of these diseases. Awareness and preparedness are instrumental in reducing viral transmission and improving survival of the victims.
