Wednesday, July 16, 2003Infection with the SARS virus leads to critical illness in as many as one-quarter of patients. These people typically require prolonged treatment with respirators. Nearly half of those that do need mechanical breathing help die of the infection. In addition to serious lung damage, other deadly complications can include multiple organ failure, blood clots and shock resulting from blood infection.
