Proposed Project Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Research—New—National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As part of the effort taken by CDC to learn more about the epidemiology and clinical dynamics of infection with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, CDC's National Center for Infectious Diseases would like to collect information in the event of a re-emergence of SARS. Protocols have been developed for the study of SARS transmission, dynamics of infection and SARS infection during pregnancy. Information on symptoms of illness, activities during periods of contact with a SARS case or within a SARS-affected area and outcomes of illness will be requested from SARS case-patients, contacts of SARS case-patients, health care professionals and state and local public health providers. Data will be used for research to contribute to the global understanding of SARS illness and refine methods of SARS infection control. Expedited clearance is necessary so that data may be collected immediately in the event of SARS re-emergence this fall. There is no cost to the respondents. Form
