Emerging Infectious Diseases - SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, Atlanta, Georgia, USA) is assisting the World Health Organization (WHO) in investigating an outbreak of a severe acute respiratory syndrome of unknown etiology. Cases have been reported in China (Guangdong Province and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region), Vietnam, Canada, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. This disease has been characterized by secondary transmission in the health care setting and within households.
