Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus. SARS was first reported from the Guangdong Province in China in 2002. Labelled as the first pandemic of the 21st century, SARS spread to 29 countries with more than more than 8000 cases.
Since 2003, SARS has reappeared on four counts: Three times from lab accidents (Singapore and Chinese Taipei), and once in southern China where the source of infection remains undetermined although there is circumstantial evidence of animal-to-human transmission (WHO).
