A Mysterious virus of unknown origin was struck by 44 people in China, the condition of 11 of them doctors estimate as heavy. Scientists still can't determine the type of virus that is the causative agent of this disease in connection with which the experts are unable to make an accurate diagnosis already sick and to prevent spreading worldwide. However, epidemiologists have managed to distinguish this infection from certain types of acute respiratory diseases, at the same time still not excluding , which still has an unknown origin.
Epidemic in China
According to an article published on the portal , infected live in the same city of Wuhan, hints at a common source of infection. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, experts are engaged in search of people who could have close contact with sick people. Currently, under the close supervision of doctors is already 121 people. It is known that it often happens that human infection could occur when interacting with members of market fresh seafood, although the experts still aren't. So, researchers are already excluded from the “list of suspects” some types of respiratory diseases, which includes influenza, avian influenza, adenovirus infection and many other diseases that are common in the population.
According to statistics from the Center for disease control (CDC), in 2002 and 2003, the SARS epidemic (SARS, or better known as SARS) spread across 26 countries, hitting their population a severe form of the disease, which has many similarities with the flu. It is known that the SARS epidemic claimed more than 750 lives, while proishodil previously in China, which immediately killed more than 600 people.

The torso has many of similarities to influenza and pneumonia as the main symptoms of both diseases are fever, headache and muscle pain, malaise and a dry cough. However, the typical distinguishing feature of SARS is the lack of runny nose and related symptoms such as sneezing and nasal congestion. The disease can manifest itself in 2-7 days after infection, often beginning with fever. In some cases, the disease can progress into severe pneumonia which results in pulmonary insufficiency.
The world health organization (who) stated that in 2004, the disease was successfully cured, but the SARS epidemic was completely stopped on and in China, where there was an outbreak of the epidemic. But unfortunately, experts suggest that the disease may return because of some atypical manifestations of the disease.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome also known as the purple death
At the moment, experts are trying to identify whether the outbreak of mysterious diseases caused by SARS virus. A positive outcome of the studies could greatly facilitate the task of epidemiologists, because modern medicine has already known methods of this disease. Anyway, scientists say that still can not be accurate to exclude the emergence of a new form of virus that has not previously been known to science.
