WHO已经直接将非典型肺炎与重型急性呼吸道综合征(SARS)联系起来,并指出:现在SARS是全球性的健康威胁因素,需要全世界的共同努力以查明病因、治疗患者并阻止其传播。SARS是新识别的疾病,其传播途径刚开始发现,因此很难解释。虽然病原体特征和强有力的诊断测试已经取得了很大进展.但是关于该病的更多情况仍不清楚。目前,世界一流的科学家和临床医生正在通过WHO日夜紧密合作以寻找有关SARS问题的答案和证据,以对国际上未发现和已发现SARS病例的国家提出更加准确的公共卫生学建议,以便采取进一步的预防措施。文详见 WHO has directly linked atypical pneumonia to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and pointed out that SARS is now a global health threat and requires concerted efforts from around the world to identify the cause, treat patients and prevent their spread. SARS is a newly identified disease whose transmission has just begun to be discovered and is therefore difficult to interpret. Although great progress has been made in the characterization of pathogens and in powerful diagnostic tests, more information on the disease remains unclear. At present, world-class scientists and clinicians are working closely with WHO through the night and day to find answers and evidence on SARS issues to provide more accurate public health advice to countries with undiscovered and detected SARS cases in the world in order to take further Precautionary measures.
