In Ottawa, health authorities closed hospitals to visitors and volunteers as they investigated a patient with suspicious symptoms.
The patient, a nurse who came in contact with a woman from Toronto who passed through the city two weeks ago, is neither a possible or suspect SARS case, but is being investigated, said Dr. Robert Cushman, the city's medical officer of health.
According to Taiwan's Center for Disease Control, positive results for the SARS virus occurs in up to 3 percent of reported cases, which is lower than expected. At least 70 percent of tested cases showed probable Chlamydia or _Mycoplasma pneumoniae_ infections. Thus, during this period, it has been recommended that atypical pneumonia should be treated with antibiotics to allow observation of the clinical response, which would facilitate the most appropriate placement of patients. The clinical and treatment procedures for patients who test positively for the SARS virus, however, should continue adherence to the established recommended procedures.
Here is the Chlamydia again? Have you been reading that anywhere elae, except in the early Chinese reports?
Still don't know whats wrong with the neighbor. Day 9 with his fever.
