Chemical terrorism and nerve agents
Medicine, 2007 Sarin and VX were released on an unprotected civilian population in Japan on six occasions in 1994−5. Clinicians must be prepared, therefore, to treat casualties from nerve agent exposure. This requires an understanding of the mechanisms of nerve agent toxicity and the factors which influence their clinical impact.

LABORATORY EXAMINATION IN NERVE AGENT INTOXICATION [PDF]
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic), 2013 Diagnosis of nerve agent intoxication is based on anamnestic data, clinical signs and laboratory examination. For acute poisoning, cholinesterase activity in the blood (erythrocyte AChE, plasma/serum BuChE) is sensitive, simple and most frequent laboratory examination performed in biochemical laboratories. Specialized examinations to precise treatment (
