Title: Atypical SARS in Geriatric Patient Cord-id: 7s4gnxs4 Document date: 2004_2_25
ID: 7s4gnxs4
Snippet: We describe an atypical presentation of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in a geriatric patient with multiple coexisting conditions. Interpretation of radiographic changes was confounded by cardiac failure, with resolution of fever causing delayed diagnosis and a cluster of cases. SARS should be considered even if a contact history is unavailable, during an ongoing outbreak.
