چکیده
In March 2003, there was a major outbreak of SARS in Hong Kong. In the Prince of Wales Hospital, 138 patients including health care workers contracted the disease. Of these patients, 23% progressed to acute respiratory failure for which they were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), whereas 14% of the 138 patients received invasive mechanical support within 1 to 2 weeks.1 Chest radiography remains the first-line radiological investigation in suspected cases and helps monitor progress during treatment. Air-space opacity in peripheral and lower-zone distribution was most commonly seen at presentation. It then progressed to multifocal or bilateral lung involvement; about 70% of SARS patients showed improvement.2
