You should consider a biological event when large numbers of ill persons present who have unexplained yet similar symptoms; when unexplained deaths occur,particularly among young and healthy populations; when an unusual pattern (e.g.,geographical,season,patient population)is associated with the symptoms; when the patient fails to respond to traditional therapy; and when a single patient presents with symptoms suggestive of an uncommon agent (e.g.,anthrax,smallpox).Once you suspect a biological event,notify incident command immediately.
