This is definitely SARS (or at least SARS CoV infections), but media still looking for CARS (or PARS - Puzzling Acute Respiratiry Syndrome) thestar.com 120 cases possibly missed, tests show Positive for virus but not classified as suspect WHO sending official over to offer 'support' CYNTHIA LEE AND KAREN PALMER STAFF REPORTERS Scientists are puzzled by a group of 120 people, mostly from the Toronto area, who tested positive for the SARS coronavirus but were not classified as probable or suspect cases. It is unclear whether the tests, which were conducted by the National Microbiological Laboratory, are false positives, people who were infected but showed only mild symptoms, or cases that slipped through the cracks.
