do you think it is a mistake? Maybe I should ask to have it pulled. I thought it was about new info about deaths.

The article states, and you presented in bold type, that the WHO suspects that five times the official figure of 40 SARS deaths may have occurred in Beijing. Thus, it is acceptable (though barely so), to speak of hundreds of additional SARS deaths, rather than cases.
