已经证明严重急性呼吸综合征 (SARS)是由一种新型冠状病毒所引起。在控制疾病过程中 ,早期发现、明确传播途径、采取特殊的预防措施是非常重要的。我国制定了疑似和确诊病例的标准 ,但实验室检查和标准还不完善。迄今主要的治疗措施是隔离、应用利巴韦林和糖皮质激素 ,以及机械通气等 ,其他治疗措施诸如恢复期血清疗法还处于探索之中。在征服SARS的过程中还有很多问题急待解决。 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) has been shown to be caused by a novel coronavirus. In the control of the disease, early detection, a clear route of transmission, to take special precautions is very important. My country has set the standard of suspected and confirmed cases, but laboratory tests and standards are still not perfect. So far the main treatment is isolation, the application of ribavirin and glucocorticoid, and mechanical ventilation, and other treatments such as convalescent serum therapy is still under exploration. There are still many problems to be solved in the process of conquering SARS.
