Cumulative number of cases includes number of deaths.
As SARS is a diagnosis of exclusion, the status of a reported case may change over time. This means that previously reported cases may be discarded after further investigation and follow-up.
* National public health authorities report to WHO on the areas in which local chain(s) of transmission is/are occurring. These areas are provided on the list of Affected Areas (See http://www.who.int/csr/sars/areas/en/).
+ The Chinese authorities have previously reported cases of atypical pneumonia in Guangdong province from 1 November 2002 to 9 February 2003. Further investigation is underway to update figures.
§ Due to differences in the case definitions being used at a national level, probable cases are reported by all countries except the United States of America, which is reporting suspect cases under investigation.
** One death attributed to Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China occurred in a case medically transferred from Viet Nam.
