"Recommendations for Postexposure Interventions to
Prevent Infection with Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis C
Virus, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and Tetanus
in Persons Wounded During Bombings and Similar
Mass-Casualty Events - United States, 2008

"This report outlines recommendations for postexposure
interventions to prevent infection with hepatitis B virus,
hepatitis C virus, human immunodeficiency virus, or tetanus
in persons wounded during bombings or other events resulting
in mass casualties. Persons wounded during such events or in
conjunction with the resulting emergency response might be
exposed to blood, body fluids, or tissue from other injured
persons and thus be at risk for bloodborne infections.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A top U.S. biodefense researcher apparently committed
suicide just as the Justice Department was about to file criminal charges
against him in the anthrax mailings that traumatized the nation in the weeks
following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to a published
report.

The scientist, Bruce E. Ivins, 62, who worked for the past 18 years at the
government's biodefense labs at Fort Detrick, Maryland, had been told about
the impending prosecution, the Los Angeles Times reported for Friday
editions. The laboratory has been at the center of the FBI's investigation
of the anthrax attacks, which killed five people.

Ivins died Tuesday at Frederick (Maryland) Memorial Hospital. The Times,
quoting an unidentified colleague, said the scientist had taken a massive
dose of a prescription Tylenol mixed with codeine.
