CDC | Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)

There's a new illness spreading in East Asia. It's being reported as 'atypical pneumonia', but is officially called severe acute respiratory syndrome or SARS.

A number of early cases have led to dozens of hospital workers also developing the syndrome, and doctors have yet to find a successful treatment. The syndrome is probably airborne, so CDC is recommending hospitals take both airborne and contact precautions.
