Has there been any documented case of a baby getting SARS? I know there were suspicions a day or two ago that a dead baby might have died of SARS, but I have not heard that they were confirmed. As far as I know, no one under 30 is known up to now to have died of SARS.

The daughter-in-law of one of my mother's coworkers came down with SARS, while she was 5 1/2 months pregnant. The woman became so ill and the baby took so much of her oxygen, the doctors had no choice but to deliver her baby.

Despite spending 6 weeks in the hospital and having a tracheotomy, the mother is now fully recovered. The baby, who weighed 2 pounds, now weighs 2 pounds 12 oz. and will probably be released from the hospital in June - near his original due date.

The mother, by the way, is a dental hygienist who caught SARS from a patient who had just returned from an Asian trip.
