Abstract:

The Vesicant Workshop was held at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory on 3-5 February 1987. The objective of the workshop was to develop a coherent strategy to focus and prioritize research in medical countermeasures to vesicant warfare agents based on clinical data and user needs as defined by the combat developers. This document constitutes the proceedings of that workshop. Keywords Chemical warfare injuries, Chemical warfare casualties, Military medicine, Vesicants, Mustard agents, Lewisite, Decontamination.
