"Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) adalah penyakit infeksi virus yang baru muncul di awal tahun 2003. Menurut WHO, kasus "suspek" SARS adalah mereka yang suspect bila menderita panas > 38 C ditambah adanya gejala respiratorik, baik berupa batuk, atau sesak napas, atau kesulitan bernapas, dengan riwayat kunjungan/tinggal ke affected area, atau ada kontak erat dengan penderita SARS. Selain itu, mereka yang meninggal karena penyakit infeksi respiratorik setelah 1 November 2002 tanpa sebab yang jelas dan padanya tidak dilakukan otopsi dengan riwayat kunjungan / tinggal di affected area, atau ada kontak erat dengan penderita SARS. Sementara kasus “probable” SARS adalah kasus suspect yang pada gambaran radiologik menunjukkan adanya infiltrat yang konsisten dengan gambaran pneumonia atau respiratory disstress syndrome (RDS), atau kasus suspect yang pemeriksaan virologiknya menemukan virus SARS, atau kasus suspect yang meninggal tanpa sebab yang jelas yang gambaran otopsinya konsisten dengan gambaran patologi SARS. Pada tulisan ini juga disampaikan beberapa data epidemiologik SARS di Indonesia, di mana antara periode 1 Maret sampai 9 Juli 2003 tercatat 2 kasus probable dan 7 kasus suspek SARS, dan tidak ada lagi kasus SARS setelah saat itu. Bagaimana perkembangan SARS di masa datang masih akan jadi kajian para ahli, dan kita harus bersiap untuk menghadapi berbagai kemungkinan di masa datang. (Med J Indones 2004; 14: 59-63)

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is an emerging viral infectious disease. According to the World Health Organization, a suspected case of SARS is defined as documented fever (temperature >38°C), lower respiratory tract symptoms, and contact with a person believed to have had SARS or history of travel to an area of documented transmission. A probable case is a suspected case with chest radiographic findings of pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), or an unexplained respiratory illness resulting in death, with autopsy findings of ARDS without identifiable cause. In this article some SARS epidemiological data in Indonesia will also presented. There are 7 SARS suspected cases and 2 probable cases were registered in Indonesia on the period of 1 March to 9 July 2003, and no more cases were reported after that time. How will be SARS progression in the future will be a subject of discussion among scientist, and we will have to wait and be prepared for any development might occur. (Med J Indones 2004; 14: 59-63)"

"The outbreak of Ebola virus disease in West Africa shocked the world as the disease spread rapidly from its origin to neighboring countries, Europe, and North America while the systems in place to handle such an epidemic failed. The United Nations, the World Health Organization, and major international humanitarian organizations scrambled to respond as thousands died and infections spiraled out of control. All are now contemplating: What went wrong, and how do we stop it from happening again? Global Management of Infectious Disease After Ebola is the first and most comprehensive volume to address these questions. It brings together the analyses and retrospectives of diplomats, scholars, and advocates studying from afar, as well as those of physicians and front-line responders who witnessed the epidemic sweep through already poor, devastated countries as their nascent health systems collapsed. The volume assesses not only the global response to Ebola but also current and emerging infectious disease threats, changes in the global system to handle them, and the critical ethics and human rights issues that will shape the next episode in the perpetual struggle against infectious disease."
