Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, which has multiple
routes of infection in humans, manifesting in different initial presentations of
disease. Because B anthracis has the potential to be used as a biological weapon
and can rapidly progress to systemic anthrax with high mortality in those who are
exposed and untreated, clinical guidance that can be quickly implemented must be
in place before any intentional release of the agent. This document provides
clinical guidance for the prophylaxis and treatment of neonates, infants,
children, adolescents, and young adults up to the age of 21 (referred to as
"children") in the event of a deliberate B anthracis release and offers guidance
in areas where the unique characteristics of children dictate a different
clinical recommendation from adults.
