Abstract | On November 18, 2001, a meeting was held at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to discuss the prophylaxis, diagnosis, and treatment of anthrax. Participants included clinicians and health department personnel from areas where anthrax cases were identified, infectious disease experts, representatives of professional societies, and experts from federal agencies. A patient recovering from inhalational anthrax also described her illness. This publication provides a summary of the presentations and discussion. |
