I volunteer at a homeless men's shelter in Phoenix. Early last month before SARS was announced we had two of our guys in the hospital over a severe flu. One almost died of pneumonia. Several others had a "flu" which took over a week to shake.

When the second guy went into the hospital, he was immediately isolated until "TB" tests were performed. Does anyone know if TB is known for sudden onset? I thought it was a progressive condition.

I was wondering if there was a connection.

I can't remember where I came across mystery flu story. I read a story today that said the virus mutated to stomach flu and it jogged my memory. I'm not in the health profession.
