Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a new infectious respiratory disease that has recently been reported in Asia, North America, and Europe. Much of what is known about this disease and its implications on public health is based on case studies and epidemiological data, and, more importantly to the National Guideline Clearinghouse™ (NGC™), is rapidly being updated. As a result, NGC provides this list of Web resources where clinical practice recommendations and geographic-dependent public health measures are posted.
