NEW SARS CASE CONFIRMED
Last Updated: 11:34 UK, Tuesday September 09, 2003
Health authorities in Singapore have confirmed that a 27-year-old man has contracted the killer respiratory disease Sars.
They believe the case is isolated but have isolated 25 people who had been in contact with the man as a precaution.
It is the world's first case of the virus since the World Health Organisation declared a global outbreak over on July 5.
But the WHO in Geneva said the case did not constitute a public health emergency.
The man confirmed as carrying Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome had been working at a microbiology laboratory at the National University of Singapore as a post-graduate student.
He had no history of travel to areas previously affected by Sars and his name was not immediately released.
"It appears to be a single, isolated case," Singapore's health ministry said in a statement.
Sars originated in southern China and was spread early this year to 30 countries by travellers.
It infected nearly 8,500 people globally and killed more than 800, including 33 in Singapore.
Singapore's acting health minister, Khaw Boon Wan, said the man posed a "low public health risk" because he was isolated quickly.
"I don't think it is a repeat of the crisis," he said.
But a spokesman for China's foreign ministry said: "We are very concerned about this incident in Singapore."

Un cas confirmé de SRAS à Singapour et 25 personnes en quarantaine
SINGAPOUR (AFP) - 9 sept - Les autorités médicales de Singapour ont confirmé mardi un nouveau cas de syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère (SRAS) chez un patient hospitalisé dans la ville-Etat et annoncé la mise en quarantaine de 25 personnes.
Le patient est un chercheur singapourien de 27 ans, qui effectuait des recherches sur le virus du Nil occidental dans un laboratoire de microbiologie de l'Université nationale de Singapour, selon un communiqué du ministère de la Santé.
"Il semble qu'il s'agisse d'un cas isolé", selon le ministère, qui souligne que le patient n'avait pas voyagé dans des pays touchés par le virus.
Vingt-cinq personnes ayant été en contact avec le patient ont été placées en quarantaine. Elles sont les proches du malade, les patients ayant été en contact avec lui à l'hôpital où il est soigné et un praticien de médecine traditionnelle chinoise que le malade avait consulté.
D'autre part, la société suisse Berna Biotech, spécialisée dans les vaccins, aurait mis au point un vaccin prototype contre le SRAS, selon un communiqué publié mardi par l'entreprise. Les premiers résultats pré-cliniques indiquent que le "vaccin développe des anticorps susceptibles de neutraliser le virus du SRAS".
Les prochaines étapes de la mise au point de ce vaccin seront "fondées sur les développements épidémiologiques et définies en étroite collaboration avec les autorités concernées", ajoute Berna Biotech.
Le SRAS a affecté plus de 8.400 personnes dans 32 pays et fait 916 morts. Les premiers cas ont été détectés en Chine méridionale en novembre 2002 et les derniers décès ont été enregistrés au Canada à la mi-août.
Singapour avait enregistré au total 206 cas -- dont 33 mortels -- mais aucun depuis le 11 mai et avait été rayée le 31 mai de la liste des pays infectés par le SRAS établie par l'OMS.

Este caso de SARS em Singapura ...
Este caso de SARS em Singapura vai mexer mais com os mercados do que os PER's nos 100.
E vai ter mais imprensa e TV do que o Spitzer e a fraude nos fundos de investimento.
(Já agora, se aparecerem mais casos de SARS, quer dizer que a coisa apenas adormeceu durante o verão como é comum com os coronavirus, e logo, a epidemia este ano será muito maior que no ano passado)
O mercado parece importar-se mais com estas coisas do que com os fundamentais das empresas.
