That afternoon, the mother and son arrived at the Astrid Lindgren's Children's Hospital of the Karolinska Hospital, and a doctor and nurse met them. Because the doctors and other hospital staff now regarded her son as a suspected SARS case, the mother was concerned about returning home to her daughter and mother. A few days later the mother called the hospital and was told that the laboratory results were negative for SARS. We are concerned because, at the time of writing, there has not been any report of this suspected SARS case to the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control or to WHO. We believe that heightened anxiety about SARS, brought about by the popular media's exaggerated reporting of the outbreak in Hong Kong, affected the way Swedish healthcare professionals reacted.	./cache/cord-009573-ghv9uezx.txt	./txt/cord-009573-ghv9uezx.txt
