AB  - Bioterrorism events have worldwide impacts, not only in terms of security and 
      public health policy, but also in other related sectors. Many countries, 
      including Korea, have set up new administrative and operational structures and 
      adapted their preparedness and response plans in order to deal with new kinds of 
      threats. Korea has dual surveillance systems for the early detection of 
      bioterrorism. The first is syndromic surveillance that typically monitors 
      non-specific clinical information that may indicate possible 
      bioterrorism-associated diseases before specific diagnoses are made. The other is 
      infectious disease specialist network that diagnoses and responds to specific 
      illnesses caused by intentional release of biologic agents. Infectious disease 
      physicians, clinical microbiologists, and infection control professionals play 
      critical and complementary roles in these networks. Infectious disease 
      specialists should develop practical and realistic response plans for their 
      institutions in partnership with local and state health departments, in 
      preparation for a real or suspected bioterrorism attack.
