    Snippet: The target organ of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is widely believed to be the lungs, hence the names "severe acute respiratory syndrome" and "SARS atypical pneumonia" (1, 2) . However, patients often have evidence of other organ dysfunction, including gastrointestinal symptoms (3), abnormal liver function (4, 5) , splenic atrophy, and lymphadenopathy (6) .

    Document: The target organ of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is widely believed to be the lungs, hence the names "severe acute respiratory syndrome" and "SARS atypical pneumonia" (1, 2) . However, patients often have evidence of other organ dysfunction, including gastrointestinal symptoms (3), abnormal liver function (4, 5) , splenic atrophy, and lymphadenopathy (6) . This may reflect widespread immunopathology or the presence of extrapulmonary SARS-coronavirus (CoV) dissemination and replication, as has been observed in other species infected with animal coronavirus (7) . Recent reports of multiple organ infection by the virus were based mostly on partial autopsies (8) . A comprehensive theory of pathogenesis for this newly emerged infectious disease is lacking.
