To ease these concerns, the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), with an 8-year history of surveillance and diagnosis of febrile respiratory illness (FRI) within active duty continental United States and deployed forces, was tasked with conducting laboratory-based, active surveillance for respiratory illnesses (including SARS) during the exercise, with the intent of early recognition and response. 7, 8 As concerns over SARS importation were eased with implementation of surveillance, valuable information on circulating respiratory pathogens during such an exercise was collected. Supplies, including viral transport medium, swabs (sterile Dacron), preprinted subject identification labels, FRI log sheets, and informed consent/case forms, were provided to both units. Of the 16 diagnostic specimens received, seven (44%) tested positive for influenza A, 2 (13%) for coronavirus OC43, 2 (13%) for respiratory syncytial virus, and 1 (6%) for rhinovirus. ./cache/cord-312950-ggywr91e.txt ./txt/cord-312950-ggywr91e.txt
