Notes
: Cumulative
number of cases includes number of deaths. As
SARS is a diagnosis of exclusion, the status of a reported case may
change over time. This means that previously reported cases may be discarded
after further investigation and follow-up. 1.
The start of the period of surveillance has been changed to 1 November
2002 to capture cases of atypical pneumonia in China that are now recognized
as being cases of SARS. 2.
A decrease in the number of cumulative cases and discrepancies in the
difference between cumulative number of cases of the last and the current
WHO update are attributed to the discarding of cases. 3.
Includes cases who are "discharged" or "recovered"
as reported by the national public health authorities. 4.
One death attributed to Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China
occurred in a case medically transferred from Viet Nam. |
