Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I really appreciate your concern, SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) is the viral infection and it goes into complication very rapidly. SARS is known all over the world and it is a fetal kind of infection. It is difficult to know the source of it, but the clinical confirmation is enough.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
