SARS developed in a cluster of healthcare workers who had contact with this patient. SARS was diagnosed when a chest infiltrate developed and when the patient's brother was hospitalized with acute respiratory failure. We highlight problems in atypical cases and offer infection control suggestions. | Source Title: | Emerging Infectious Diseases | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/181121 | ISSN: | 10806040 | DOI: | 10.3201/eid1002.030501 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
