Abstract:
The potential use of anthrax as a biological terrorist attack has prompted health authorities to investigate different treatment protocols and discuss which antibiotic agent should be used in the event of an attack. Ciprofloxacin, and doxycycline were the primary agents used after the 2001 attack in the US, and amoxicillin was reserved for pregnant or breast feeding women, children, and those with adverse effects associated with ciprofloxacin or doxycycline. Re-evaluation of these agents is required over time considering changes in resistance patterns, costs, or other factors. This report will review the clinical and cost-effectiveness literature of ciprofloxacin and doxycycline for anthrax.
