I've heard that even if one survives SARS there is scarring of the lungs. Can anyone confirm that?

"I've heard that even if one survives SARS there is scarring of the lungs." I don't know what the number is, but a certain percentage is probably left with scarred lungs. The thing that gets me is that experts fear that SARS will be reoccurring in patients. Imagine a few months from now recovered patients break out with SARS and are contagious. I pray that reoccurrence is not the case.

pneumonia can cause scaring of the lungs if it doesn't kill you, based on this, I am sure it can occur.

This can and does happen with some pneumonias.
