SARS is air-borne after all--Study Says SARS Virus Can Spread Via Air

The SARS virus apparently can spread distantly through the air in some circumstances, suggesting the deadly lung infection can be transmitted more easily than had been thought, researchers reported yesterday.



A new analysis of an unusual SARS outbreak in a Hong Kong apartment complex last year concluded the virus probably infected hundreds of people by traveling through one building's air shaft before being carried to neighboring towers by the wind.

"Airborne spread of the virus appears to explain this large community outbreak of SARS, and future efforts at prevention and control must take into consideration the potential for airborne spread of this virus," wrote Ignatius T.S. Yu of Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong and colleagues in today's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
