A characteristic clinical picture is associated with SARS, although distinguishing SARS from other causes of pneumonia remains a challenge.After an incubation period of approximately 2 to 10 days, the most characteristic symptom is fever, with or without cough, or dyspnea.In most cases, symptoms resolve spontaneously after the first week; however, in more than 20% of patients, symptoms progress to the more severe respiratory distress syndrome, and patients require intensive care and respiratory support.
