This publication serves as a guide and a reference for trained
members of the Armed Forces Medical Services and other medically
qualified personnel on the recognition and treatment of biological
warfare (BW) agent casualties. Information contained in this
publication may also be relevant for the diagnosis and treatment of
patients with naturally acquired diseases or illnesses due to
pathogens with BW potential. This publication 1) classifies and
describes potential BW agents, 2) provides procedures for
collecting, handling and labeling, shipping, and identifying
potential BW agents, 3) describes procedures for medial diagnosing,
treating, and management of BW casualties, and 4) describes medical
management and treatment in BW operations. The material in this
publication is applicable to both the conventional battlefield and
the integrated environment of the battlefield. Treatment modalities
contained in this manual differ from standard textbooks in that
they apply to BW agent exposures. The method of exposure for most
BW agents is by inhalation; whereas, the endemic disease exposure
(if applicable) is by other means. Some are by ingestion, some by
arthropod bites, and other by dermal contact with the agent. This
does not preclude service members becoming BW casualties by these
means. The use of the term "level of care" in this publication is
synonymous with "echelon of care" and "role or care." The term
"echelon of care" is the old North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) term. The term "role of care" is the new NATO and American,
British, Canadian, and Australian (ABCA) term.
