title: 'We're all working together.' New York-area hospitals redouble efforts in face of anthrax death.
abstract: The death of a New York hospital worker from inhalation anthrax last week put new strains on an overburdened public health system. The fact that no source of the bacteria could be found only added to the difficulties. Hospitals along the East Coast battled clinical, logistical and financial problems from the outbreak.
