... Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have begun issuing alerts about the outbreak of a contagious, virulent pneumonia now named SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). SARS almost like a detective movie. ... Children are often especially vulnerable to pneumonias and flu - and respiratory infections can spread very quickly through communities of children. It is important to underscore that SARS may turn out to be nothing more than a nasty strain of flu; it might turn out, though, to be an important new illness. ... SARS seems to spread by close contact, but we dont know to what extent this is airborne spread versus spread through contact with respiratory secretions or body fluids of infected people. ... People with SARS tend to have high fever (at least over 100. ... 0 degrees C) along with respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and/or difficulty breathing. If someone has these symptoms, and also has had close contact with someone with SARS, or has traveled to an area reporting cases of SARS, then he or she should be considered to have SARS until proven otherwise.
