| Abstract | "The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the nation's leading public health agency. AmonF its responsibilities, the agency works with public health partners to investigate unexplained illnesses and help prevent future cases. For example, CDC investigators identified the cause of a severe respiratory illness among attendees at an American Legion convention in Philadelphia in 1976 (Legionnaires' Disease) and linked the newly recognized toxic-shock syndrome with the use of super-absorbent tampons by American women a few years later ( , ). And, when reports of rare and severe diseases in previously healthy young homosexual men in the United States began appearing in the eirly 1980s, CDC launched investigations into what would become known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)"-- Provided by publisher. |
