Tests performed by the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg have yielded a range of results for possible viruses, including some positive results for both a virus similar to the SARS coronavirus and human metapnuemavirus.

"These laboratory findings are surprising given the nature of the outbreak," said David Patrick, director of epidemiology at B.C. Centre for Disease Control. "The symptoms and progression of illness are not consistent with SARS infection and there is no evidence anyone related to the outbreak has travelled to an affected area or had contact with a SARS case."

Dr. Patrick added: "While the virus looks like the SARS coronavirus, it doesn't appear to act like the SARS virus we've come to know."
