Infectious diseases have been a problem for military personnel
throughout history. The consequences in previous conflicts have
ranged from frequent illnesses disrupting daily activities and
readiness to widespread deaths. Preventive measures, early
diagnosis, and treatment greatly limit the exposures and acute
illnesses of troops today in comparison with those in armies of the
past, but infections and consequent acute illnesses still occur.
Thousands of US veterans of the Persian Gulf War have reported an
array of unexplained illnesses since the war ended in 1991. Many
veterans have believed that the illnesses were associated with
their military service in southwest Asia during the war. This
volume of Gulf War and Health evaluates the scientific literature
on chemical, biologic, and physical agents to which military
personnel in the gulf were potentially exposed and possible
long-term adverse health outcomes. Table of Contents Front Matter
