Recognition of Chemical Associated Gastrointestinal Foodborne Illness
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)


The possibility of a chemical etiology in foodborne illness is often overlooked or not considered until late in the outbreak investigation. Biologic specimens (such as blood and urine) are often not collected in a timely fashion, resulting in delays in chemical agent identification and laboratory confirmation. The purpose of this webcast is to provide training to clinicians and public health officials on the latest information about accurately recognizing, reporting, and managing victims resulting from a covert chemical associated event such as the intentional contamination and subsequent distribution of food.
