See below: SARS was an explosive outbreak of adult respiratory distress syndrome that started in Hong Kong in 2003. Within weeks of the outbreak it was determined that SARS was caused by a novel coronavirus. There is no cure for SARS; it is treated by supportive measures. Corticosteroids, alpha interferon and lopinavir/ritonavir have been used.

Irrelevant: Sars is not a public health issue as the source has been been identified and controlled. Quick identification of unusual infectious diseases will always be a challenge for healthcare.
