Abstract

In March 2003, an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome started in Hong Kong. A 57-year-old woman had a typical presentation, including fever, non-productive cough, malaise, lymphopenia, and raised liver aminotransferases. The clinical course and successful treatment with convalescent plasma, ribavirin, and corticosteroids are discussed.
