Natural history—Anthrax
z Incubation is 1-6 days z Flu like symptoms followed in 2 days by acute phase,
including breathing difficulty, shock. z Death within 24 hours of acute phasez Treatment must be initiated within 24 hours of
symptoms
![Page 4: Infrastructure and Methods to Support Real Time ... · Infrastructure and Methods to Support Real Time Biosurveillance Kenneth D. Mandl, MD, MPH ... z Incubation is 1-6 days z Flu](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040602/5e96abf256384f27383c9270/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Attack scenario—Anthrax
z State sponsored terrorist attack z Release of Anthrax, NYC subway z No notification by perpetrators z 1% of the passengers exposed during rush
hour will contract the disease

But . . .
z Until now, there has been no real time surveillance for any diseases
z The threat of bioterrorism has focused interest on and brought funding to this problem
![Page 7: Infrastructure and Methods to Support Real Time ... · Infrastructure and Methods to Support Real Time Biosurveillance Kenneth D. Mandl, MD, MPH ... z Incubation is 1-6 days z Flu](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040602/5e96abf256384f27383c9270/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Syndromic surveillance
z Use patterns of behavior or health care use, for early warning
z Example, influenza-like illness z Really should be called “prodromic surveillance”
