75. Currently, there are no specific clinical or laboratory findings which can distinguish with certainty SARS from other respiratory illnesses at the time of presentation Early recognition will depend on the astute clinician’s ability to combine clinical and epidemiologic features !

91. Children: reservoir for many respiratory diseases (flu, RSV…) Children: massive exposure (kissing…) infected without clinical presentation Children: absence of mortality
92. SARS: where are the pediatric cases? Philip A. Brunell Chief Medical Editor May 2003 To date there is no evidence to support the thesis that there is widespread unrecognized illness in children. At this time, it is safe to say that our pediatric patients with respiratory illnesses without an epidemiologic link do not have SARS. That does not means we should stop looking.
93. Section of Pediatric Emergency Medicine Pediatric SARS Lance Brown, MD MPH FACEP Does it strike anyone else as odd that SARS is a viral pneumonia that strikes adults harder than kids? The worldwide numbers from the May 21, 2003 World Health Organization tally show 7,956 cases, 4,085 individuals who have recovered from the disease, and 666 deaths. The United States is officially listed as having 66 cases and no deaths. Unfortunately, I could not find specific numbers for children in either the CDC or WHO Web sites. The percentage of cases involving children has been reported to be 2% in Canada , 2.4% in Sinapore , and 14% in the United States . What I would really like to see is the Chinese pediatric data. There are a few possibilities including: 1) children get the disease, but it is manifests itself so mildly that the children don't come to medical attention; 2) children have more resistance to getting the infection for some reason; 3) children just haven't been exposed as often as adults; 4) bad data ; 5) luck
