By following these simple precautions, physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and first responders will protect themselves, their coworkers, and their families from possible exposure to a dangerous disease. The isolation precautions recommended in this book for several of the viral hemor rhagic fevers (Ebola, Marburg, Lassa, and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fevers, Omsk, South American, and Rift Valley fever, and Kyasanur Forest disease) do not conform to traditionally accepted precautions for these diseases and are based on the consensus statement published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on May 8, 2002.
19% of cases cutaneous only. Pulmonary form causes productive cough, hemoptysis, weight loss, pleuritic chest pain, low-grade fever, dyspnea, and CXR findings of pulmonary infiltrates, nodules, and/or cavitations. Hilar adenopathy may also be present. 30–45 days Coccidioidomycosis 7–21 days (Coccidioides immitis) see page 52 Fever, dry cough, dyspnea, chest pain, and fatigue. Weight loss, migratory arthralgias and headache are also common. CXR often demonstrates unilateral infiltrates, effusions, and hilar adenopathy.
Every healthcare provider and first responder should have a working knowledge of potential biological weapons and the special problems created by the mass casualties they would produce. Medical responses should be practiced from time to time as part of the hospital or community disaster plan. This would allow for the identification of weaknesses and needs and aid in the prior identification of available resources, even at some distance away. These preparations alone would go a long way toward lessening the effectiveness of any biological weapon that might be used.
