Sažetak
Bioterrorism generates stress in directly affected people, in exposed but unaffected people, and in general population. Stress consequences include changes in neuroendocrine and immune system. Disturbed immunity makes population more sensitive to microorganisms used as biological weapons. Considering the impact and peril of bioterrorism, one should take into account the stress induced changes in the immune reactivity as an additional menace that affects people at all levels of involvement, even including those only threatened by a potential terrorist attack.
