The World Health Organization says the main symptoms of SARS are high fever, dry cough, shortness of breath or breathing difficulties. Changes in chest X-rays, which are indicative of pneumonia, also occur.

SARS may be associated with other symptoms, including chills, headache, muscular stiffness, loss of appetite, malaise, confusion, rash and diarrhoea.

Health experts say the disease has an incubation period of between 2-7 days, with 3-5 days being more common, before victims start showing flu-like symptoms.
