2003 Case Definition

Case Definition: Refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) SARS web site for the surveillance case definition for SARS-CoV disease and other related information maintained by the National Center for Infectious Diseases (URL: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/sars/reporting.htm).

NOTE: Only cases of SARS-CoV disease are considered nationally notifiable. The SARS surveillance case definition also includes a non-specific case definition for “SARS reports under investigation.” While States are encouraged to report both SARS reports under investigation and SARS-CoV disease, only SARS-CoV disease has been added to the national notifiable diseases list.
