Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is an acute infectious disease that affects primarily the lower respiratory tract, with clinical manifestations of atypical pneumonia with dry cough, persistent fever, progressive dyspnea, and, sometimes, the abrupt deterioration of lung function [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] and the ensuing oxygen deprivation-associated systemic organ failures. Nevertheless, when antisense oligonucleotide probes specific to the replicase-encoding (REP) region of the SARS viral genome were used to determine the presence of virus, the intensity of the in situ hybridization signal decreased substantially compared with that detected by probes to the N and M regions ❚Image 2D❚ ❚Table 3❚. B, By using in situ hybridization and antisense oligonucleotide probes specific to the nucleic acid binding protein-encoding (N) and membrane protein-encoding (M) regions of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) viral genome, the SARS viral signal was detected in the enlarged and multinucleated cell (arrow, purple blue precipitates). ./cache/cord-326273-6rp12py3.txt ./txt/cord-326273-6rp12py3.txt
