摘要：

Capable of causing disease as well as being therapeutic, toxins have been both a curse and a blessing for millennia. Now, the threat of rogue countries or terrorist organizations using toxins as weapons of war is very real. In this article, Drs Blazes, Lawler, and Lazarus review the clinical and epidemiologic features of the toxin mediated diseases most likely to occur as a result of a biological warfare event.
