Overview

This title contains a book & a CD-ROM. Smallpox has been one of the scourges of mankind until it was supposedly eradicated in 1980. But there are indications that it is being preserved for use in bioterrorism and is considered a major threat by the US government. The book teaches you about the organism that causes smallpox, its transmission, its laboratory and clinical diagnosis, its clinical manifestations, its treatment, its prevention by vaccination, the significant side-effects of the vaccination, and the bioterror parameters of the disease. Two fictional and interactive scenarios are presented for review. The course is a clear, interactive presentation of the problems facing anyone who has to deal with the disease, with a special emphasis on healthcare workers, and is written to be understood well by people outside of healthcare. The course contains animations and movies. The manual accompanying the CD provides a summary of the major points of the CD in a handy format.
