Abstract
The web has emerged as an especially useful information resource for users wishing to keep abreast of investigations into the deliberate release of anthrax in the USA and elsewhere. The US National Institutes of Health posts related press briefings and conferences on its videocast site (videocast.nih.gov/ PastEvents.asp?c=4), often within hours of the actual event. Of particular interest here are the Oct 23 press conference, Anthrax: what every clinician should know, in which Anthony Fauci and others discuss relevant articles published in Nature(www.nature.com), and the Oct 18 US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) briefing, Information about the current anthrax investigations(transcript available at www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/transcripts/t011026.htm). Videocasts are in RealPlayer format and run well even over a dialup connection. Continuously updated news stories related to anthrax are posted on the Associated Press wire service site (www.sj-r.com/news/wire/apwire.htm); also check Headline Spot (www.headlinespot.com), an easy-to-navigate portal that provides links to hundreds of newspapers worldwide (search on “anthrax” for current articles). The following is a roundup of additional noteworthy sites that provide scientific background, patient information, and other materials geared specifically to health professionals. Be sure to check the “links” section of each site for additional resources.
