Jay, the coronavirus strain that gives diarrheal is actually an old type. And not only HK SARS patients have diarrheal, 25% Guangdong SARS patients also have it. read this. "Coronaviruses have apparently jumped species before: Dr. Konstantin "Gus" Kousoulas, a professor at Louisiana State University who studies coronaviruses in cattle, published a paper back in 1993 describing a bovine-like coronavirus strain in a child in Germany. Could that strain have been related to today's SARS? Dr. Kousoulas thinks it's possible. But Dr. Klaus Stohr of the World Health Organization is skeptical, and says it's too early to tell. The German child's symptoms were diarrheal, not respiratory. But in animals, scientists have seen a coronavirus switch from being a diarrheal disease to a respiratory disease as the virus becomes lodged in a different tissue and genetically evolves. A respiratory coronavirus seen in chickens causes gasping, coughing and watery eyes, among other symptoms. Some human patients have reported diarrheal symptoms in the current SARS outbreak." forbes.com
