Abstract

Epidemics due to bioterrorist actions and prevention and control measures of these infections have been worrying not only the policy makers but also health professionals in general. Health professionals have to recognize these diseases earlier. Information and updated studies about the issue are needed. This study is a literature review in the MEDLINE and LILACS databases, books and online information (from 1993 to 2001) about epidemic aspects of the main diseases due to bioterrorist actions and care recommendations for infection control and occupational risk minimization. Healthcare professionals, who assist patients directly, should be prepared to assist patients who become ill in isolated or epidemic situations.
