Wat is the full form of SARS?

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR SARS $ WHAT IS THE MEDICINE FOR THIS DEASE

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
The virus appears to have originated in Guangdong Province in November 2002, and despite taking some action to control the epidemic, Chinese government officials did not inform the World Health Organization of the outbreak until February 2003, restricting coverage of the epidemic in order to preserve public confidence. This lack of openness caused the PRC to take the blame for delaying the international effort against the epidemic. [3] The PRC has since officially apologized for early slowness in dealing with the SARS epidemic. [4]
Antibiotics are ineffective. Treatment of SARS so far has been largely supportive with antipyretics, supplemental oxygen and ventilatory support as needed.

Suspected cases of SARS must be isolated, preferably in negative pressure rooms, with full barrier nursing precautions taken for any necessary contact with these patients.

There was initially anecdotal support for steroids and the antiviral drug ribavirin, but no published evidence has supported this therapy. Many clinicians now suspect that ribavirin is detrimental.

Researchers are currently testing all known antiviral treatments for other diseases including AIDS, hepatitis, influenza and others on the SARS-causing coronavirus.

There is some evidence that some of the more serious damage in SARS is due to the body's own immune system overreacting to the virus. There may be some benefit from using steroids and other immune modulating agents in the treatment of the more acute SARS patients. Research is continuing in this area.

In December 2004 it was reported that Chinese researchers had produced a SARS vaccine. It has been tested on a group of 36 volunteers, 24 of whom developed antibodies against the virus

It is a viral disease S.A.R.S stands for sudden acute respiratory tract sydrome.. The medication is mainly supportive therapy
