Clinical and Epidemiological Predictors of Transmission in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome

Chen, M.I., Chow, A.L., Earnest, A. et al. (2006). Clinical and Epidemiological Predictors of Transmission in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). BMC Infectious Diseases. 6:151.
The authors looked at factors contributing to SARS transmission in 98 index cases (22 with transmission; 76 without). They found several factors that seemed to contribute to transmission including delay to isolation; admission to a non-isolation facility; and higher lactate dehydrogenase levels of greater than 650 IU/L.
