A new type of respiratory infection recently appeared in Europe, Asia, and North America. This is the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). The disease starts with a high fever accompanied by other symptoms such as headaches, body pains and a general feeling of severe discomfort. Respiratory symptoms appear from two to seven days, followed by worsening respiratory problems such as severe cough.

The most common way of catching the infection is by being in direct contact with a person who has the disease, especially sexual contact. Unfortunately, most hit by the infection are individuals who are taking care of SARS suspects or those who are in close contact with infected persons whether at home or in the work area. Contaminated materials or substances are also sources of infection like secretions coming from a sneeze of a SARS patient.

There are other ways of getting the disease. Some of them are by touching the skin of an infected person or even objects touched by the infected person. Still, it can be caught through the air, and other still unknown ways. For people who always travel especially to those regions where there is a SARS outbreak, the contamination risk is great.

Even in your workplace, it would be likely to interact with people who are SARS suspect such as the members of the institutions and its employees. The virus transference is still not absolutely ascertained and identified and there are evidences of its growing to an epidemic level globally.

Due to high risks involved and its bad incubation, several measures have been taken to prevent its further spread. To be able to create effective preventive measures, such as those serious cases with bad development pattern, we have to identify first the cause of this syndrome.

Studies done of infected persons have shown that a certain type of unknown virus from the Coronavirus family causes SARS. Unfortunately, the first three prevention methods can just be mentioned.

However, in the case of the fourth, years of experience in the medical domain, especially in the activities of prevention and control of infections and technical support in the elaboration of some specific procedures for your domain are available by Virkon.

It has been scientifically certified that Virkon is able to destroy majority of pathogenic micro-organisms and viruses. It is effective versus 52 to 54 known viruses belonging to the families of the Coronaviridae, which is the known cause of SARS.
