Description - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome by Malik Peiris

Prompting the first WHO global health alert for over a decade,
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) was first recognised in
South-East Asia in February 2003.

With the causative agent now identified as a new strain of
coronavirus, the medical world has gained important knowledge on
the aetiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathogenesis,
epidemiology, disease treatment and infection control with amazing
speed.


Despite this, major gaps remain in our understanding - the race
is on to develop new cures and effective vaccines, and the
long-term impact on health, society and economics are starting to
unravel.


Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome: A Clinical Guide
meets the urgent need for a comprehensive, authoritative reference
guide for everyone in the medical and scientific community engaged
in the fight against SARS:



Definitive book on SARS, clearly and accurately documenting the
extraordinary medical and scientific events around this new
epidemic

International experts in the field, with many contributors from
the WHO and CDC

Will help reader to understand and prevent future outbreaks
with a repeat of the same consequences
