Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)

The Epidemic Virus



Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) Between November 2002 and July 2003 an outbreak of SARS in Hong Kong nearly became a pandemic, with 8,422 cases and 916 deaths worldwide (10.9% fatality) according to the WHO.Within weeks SARS spread from Hong Kong to infect individuals in 37 countries in early 2003.




As of today, the spread of SARS has been fully contained, with the last infected human case seen in June 2003 (disregarding a laboratory induced infection case in 2004). However, SARS is not claimed to have been eradicated (unlike smallpox), as it may still be present in its natural host reservoirs (animal populations) and may potentially return into the human population in the future.

Mortality is less than 1% for people aged 24 or younger, 6% for those 25 to 44, 15% for those 45 to 64, and more than 50% for those over 65.For comparison, the fatality rate for influenza is usually around 0.6% (primarily among the elderly) but can rise as high as 33% in severe epidemics of new strains.



Signs and Symptoms

Initial symptoms are flu-like and may include:
 fever, myalgia, lethargy, gastrointestinal
 symptoms, cough, sore throat and other
 non-specific symptoms.The only symptom
 that is common to all patients appears to be
 a fever above 38 °C (100.4 °F). Shortness 
of breath may occur later.
