Treating a medical mystery

Article Abstract:

Hong Kong physicians are treating cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome by combing ribavirin, an antiviral drug with steriods to some success. More ill patients receive blood transfusions from patients that have recovered. Although the cases of the disease has quadrupled in the past couple of weeks, the great majority of patients that get the drug cocktail early on recover.
