Guest guest Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 All, The following information is available from the CDC website: SARS is diagnosed by: 1) A measured temperature of > 100.5 degrees F or 38 degrees C 2) One or more clinical findings of respiratory illness, e.g., cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, hypoxia, or radiographic findings of either pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome AND Travel within 10 days of symptom onset to documented area of or area of suspected community transmission of SARS OR Close contact within 10 days of symptom onset with SARS case or suspected SARS case. Another area within the website said the following about the disease: Influenza-like symptoms including fevers, myalgias, headache, sore throat, dry cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, in some cases followed by hypoxia, pneumonia and occasionally acute respiratory distress requiring mechanical ventilation and death. Laboratory findings may include thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. Joseph G. Does anyone have more details on how SARS manifests. All I know at this point is high fever and cough. I have had fun trying to come up with ideas with friends but with out some more details it is hard. bob --- James Ramholz <jramholz wrote: > Ken: > > If you can, please tell us how Severe Acute > Respiratory Syndrome > (SARS) is being treated in China---herbs and/or > formulas. > > > Jim Ramholz > > Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.

I'm afraid I can't provide any clinical information. Unfortunately, the public health response here has been to clamp down on as much information as possible to try and control what appears to be a potential crisis of considerable proportions. There are certainly cases that have been reported here, but only recently have those reports surfaced in public. I have not talked to any medical folks who have actually treated anyone with that diagnosis. I do have my antennae out and will let you know if I hear anything.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Ken, here's a good CDC update from the WM view using Marjorie's info. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/sars/clinicians.htm This gives the SARS clinical update. Nothing on CM, of course.
