SARS
Symptomatic Patients
It is now generally believed that only symptomatic patients may spread the SARS virus efficiently. However, transmission appears not to proceed in an explosive way. As stated above, 81% of all probable SARS cases in Singapore had no evidence of transmission of a clinically identifiable illness to other persons (MMWR 52: 405-11).
