 <title>Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome: Established Infectious Disease Control Measures Helped Contain Spread, But a Large-Scale Resurgence May Pose Challenges</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>SARS is a highly contagious respiratory disease that infected
more than 8,000 individuals in 29 countries principally 	 
throughout Asia, Europe, and North America and led to more than  
800 deaths as of July 11, 2003. Due to the speed and volume of	 
international travel and trade, emerging infectious diseases such
as SARS are difficult to contain within geographic borders,	 
placing numerous countries and regions at risk with a single	 
outbreak. While SARS did not infect large numbers of individuals 
in the United States, the possibility that it may reemerge raises
concerns about the ability of public health officials and health 
care workers to prevent the spread of the disease in the United  
States. GAO was asked to assist the Subcommittee in identifying  
ways in which the United States can prepare for the possibility  
of another SARS outbreak. Specifically, GAO was asked to	 
determine 1) infectious disease control measures practiced within
health care and community settings that helped contain the spread
of SARS and 2) the initiatives and challenges in preparing for a 
possible SARS resurgence.</abstract>
