SARS Cases Reported Misdiagnosed in China
Chinese Health Official Says Over 200 SARS Cases Were Misdiagnosed, State-Run Newspaper Says

The Associated Press



SHANGHAI, China Oct. 27 — Doctors in southern China's Guangdong province mistakenly diagnosed more than 200 patients as SARS cases but later found they were suffering from other respiratory ailments, a state-run newspaper reported Monday.
Guangdong, the region where severe acute respiratory syndrome surfaced last winter, had reported 1,274 cases by the time the disease ebbed in June.

But according to Wang Ming, vice director of the Guangzhou Disease Prevention and Control Center, later blood tests determined that only 1,062 actually had SARS, the Shanghai Morning Post reported. The others all were sick with flu or pneumonia, he said.
