Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a devastating disease
and although the virus would appear to have been contained, it is
clear that the impact it has had around the world, and could have
again in the future, is immense. Hong Kong has been significantly
impacted in the recent SARS outbreak, and clinicians and
researchers alike have gained a lot of experience in dealing with
the disease at short notice. This new book aims to be a
state-of-the art update on SARS, with particular reference to
imaging, which plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, management
and follow-up of patients with the disease (it is widely accepted
that SARS patients cannot be managed without imaging and it is
included in the WHO's own list of diagnostic criteria for the
disease). The book will also provide a perspective on the treatment
and experience of the disease outside Hong Kong.
