Abstract		SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is a recently recognized new infectious respiratory illness, which first appeared in southern China in November 2002, and has since then within months spread to 29 countries. In total, 8437 cases and 813 deaths occurred (situation at 1st of August 2003). SARS is caused by a novel coronavirus that is primarily spread by large droplet transmission, less commonly by surface contamination or by air (airborne). Around half of the infected were health care workers, the majority of cases acquired the infection in the hospital.
