Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
What is severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)?
SARS is a respiratory illness that has recently been reported in nearly 30 countries. Scientists have determined that SARS is caused by a new member of the coronavirus family.
Main symptoms and signs include fever; headache and muscle aches; and cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing.
No treatment beyond good intensive and supportive care has been consistently shown to improve prognosis.
For current information on the SARS situation, both domestically and internationally, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Web site at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/sars/.
