Wilde and Johnson fail to mention 5 cases of inhalation anthrax presented prominently in the book. These cases occurred in northern China within a 30-day period, were without occupational exposure, and occurred following overflights of US aircraft. The cases were diagnosed by physicians with appropriate training at postmortem examination with histologic and bacteriologic confirmation.

A recent Consensus Statement entitled "Anthrax as a Biological Weapon"3 indicates that in the absence of an identifiable occupational exposure even a single case of inhalation anthrax should cause alarm regarding possible biological weapon use. Had 5 similar cases occurred during the Gulf War, or should they occur today, they would be taken very seriously.

不要以为由染有炭疽病物体所引起的死亡，只有这几人。这五个具有精确的病理学分析的病例，是作为例证而举出的。以前在这个地区，这种病是十分稀少的，只有清楚知道此点，对这五个病例才能全盘了解。统计的证据（附件二十七、二十八），指明在中国东北不但典型的皮肤的或脓胞性的炭疽病在近年非常稀少，而且呼吸系统炭疽病诱致出血性脑膜炎是完全没有过的。
