Doctor who identifies
SARS becomes its victim
SARS is like flu. It is
also a virus but it is much more dangerous than flu. It has now killed hundreds
of people in different parts of the world. The doctor who was the first to
identify SARS, Dr Carlo Urbani, died from SARS. Dr Urbani worked for the World
Health Organization in Vietnam. An American businessman was taken to hospital
in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, with a strange illness. Dr Urbani was the
first person in the world to notice that this was a new disease. He called it
SARS, which means “severe acute respiratory syndrome”.
The SARS
virus can move very quickly. People who suffer from SARS have a high
temperature, a cough and difficulty in breathing. Dr Urbani’s colleague Pascale
Brudon said: “Carlo was the first person to see that this was something
strange. When people became very worried in the hospital, he was there every
day, collecting samples, talking to the staff and trying to control the
infection.”
In a
statement, the World Health Organization praised Dr Urbani, an expert in
infectious diseases. “Because of Dr Urbani’s work with SARS, we were able to
identify and isolate many cases before they infected hospital workers,” they
said in the statement.
The virus
spread very quickly across East Asia. Most of the cases were in China, Hong
Kong, Singapore and Vietnam.
Hong Kong
closed schools for a million students for 10 days, but some doctors said they
should be closed for a month. Normal daily life changed completely for the
people of Hong Kong. They did not go to restaurants or theatres and they did
not take taxis. They wore special masks and even chemical protection suits when
they went out.
The Chinese
government published daily reports on the spread of the disease, but some
experts in Hong Kong said the Chinese government had not provided enough
information about SARS and how quickly the disease could spread.
When the
virus reached Hong Kong, it infected a lot of hospital workers. A doctor from
Guandong province in China first brought SARS to Hong Kong in February 2003.
