Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or SARS is a respiratory viral infection caused by the SARS-Cov cornavirus. It is a potentially deadly illness that quickly spread around the world in 2003; it causes flu-like symptoms.[1]

ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

A study of over 300 people survivors of SARS found that 40% reported chronic fatigue, and 27% of them and met the CDC's criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome one year after recovery from SARS.[2] Moldofsky et al. (2011) assessed 21 survivors of SARS from Toronto, Canada, who remained too ill to return to work, stating that chronic post-SARS was similar to fibromyalgia.[3]
