February 26, enter the man to the hospital in Hanoi, high fever, dry cough, (muscle pain), and sore throat. Evolution during the four days following increasing difficulty in breathing, severe shortage of platelets in the blood and signs of respiratory distress that required ventilation device support

: = What extent transmission of SARS, how contagious?
Depending "on the evidence currently available, seek immediate with a sick person (Mkhmuj) constitutes the main danger to the worker pathogen to spread from person to person. So far, the majority of cases have occurred in hospital workers who have looked after patients with SARS and family members who are close to these patients.

What tests are performed to detect??

The ELISA detects antibodies after twenty days from the onslaught of symptoms and therefore does not depend upon the early detection and prevention of disease transmission and infection

immunofluorescence assay (IFA), checking the objects of the antibody on the tenth day of infection, but because he needs to slow the growth of the virus in cell culture

PCR molecular test to investigate the genetics of the virus SARS virus genetic material is important for the early stages but gives many false negative results and thus give false security to people with already "
