Sažetak
In simpler words, this disease can be called severe atypical pneumonia. The preliminary reports submitted by WHO and the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which are being collected from the mid-February, indicate that up to now (3 April 2003) SARS has been diagnosed in 16 countries with a total number of the infected 2, 270 and 79 deaths. For the moment, it may be concluded that the disease spreads by direct contact, and that there are proofs of the transmission of aerosols. The symptoms are treated medically. For prevention one should wear protective mask. Crew members working with aspect patients have to have the standard protection: mask, glasses and gloves, and have to wash their hands frequently.
