Japanese being tested for SARS in Hong Kong HONG KONG (AP) - A Japanese man who flew in from mainland China has been hospitalized with fever and was being tested Wednesday for SARS, officials said. The 29-year-old man, who had been in the mainland city of Dalian, was being treated in isolation at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, a Hospital Authority spokeswoman said. The man was in stable condition and authorities were conducting various tests, including one for the SARS virus, the spokeswoman said on customary condition of anonymity. The spokeswoman said she had no more details. A report on Hong Kong's Commercial Radio said the man's chest X-ray showed patches _ which can appear in SARS patients. An outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome early this year sickened 1,755 people in Hong Kong and killed 299. Although SARS was eventually contained, Hong Kong remains on high alert for any reappearance. There have been several recent false alarms but no new SARS cases detected. - AP thestar.com.my
