| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST iUR0x9UP. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective The Working Group on Civilian Biodefense has developed consensus-based recommendations for measures to be taken by medical and public health professionals following the use of plague as a biological weapon against a civilian population. Participants The working group included 25 representatives from major academic medical centers and research, government, military, public health, and emergency management institutions and agencies. Evidence MEDLINE databases were searched from January 1966 to June 1998 for the Medical Subject Headings plague, Yersinia pestis, biological weapon, biological terrorism, biological warfare, and biowarfare. Review of the bibliographies of the references identified by this search led to subsequent identification of relevant references published prior to1966. In addition, participants identified other unpublished references and sources. Additional MEDLINE searches were conducted through January 2000. Consensus Process The first draft of the consensus statement was a synthesis of information obtained in the formal evidence-gathering process. The working group was convened to review drafts of the document in October 1998 and May 1999. The final statement incorporates all relevant evidence obtained by the literature search in conjunction with final consensus recommendations supported by all working group members. (...) |
