One. What are the differences between the children and adults suffering from SARS?

　　Judging from the observation of the current phenomenon, the incidence of SARS breakout in children are very few, and cases of children have relatively lighter conditions than that of the adults, and the treatment are easier than that of adults.

　　According to the discoveries of the HK medical staffs’ research, the symptoms are notable different, as the different age of the children. The symptoms of the juvenile patients Aged of 13.2 to 16.4 years are similar to the adult patients, such as muscle pains, headache, chills and breathing difficulties, and some need to wear oxygen masks.

　　But the symptoms of the pretty younger children aged from 18 months to 7 years and a half are not so serious. There are Tje only typical integration symptoms of acute respiratory systems - fever, cough and runny nose, and do not need help them breathing.

　　Another notable finding was that infection of the young patients is less than that of the adults. 8 children patients of the 10 initial patients in HK had been to school before the disease breakout, but there is no evidence that they spread the disease to other students.  This discovery became the sharp contrast to the adults who have a high infection rate.

Two, as children are pretty easier to get fever, and more of them suffer from pneumonia, how to distinguish pneumonia from SARS?

　　On this stage, we just take clinical comprehensive diagnostic methods. And there are mainly four aspects: first is that do not has the history of any kind of contacting, whether have the history of close contact with SARS is the most crucial. Second is about fever, the fever there refers to that which turns out to be ineffective after being treated with antibiotics.Third is that inside the chest film, there is performance of interstitial pneumonia, and this is also very important.Fourth, the number of leukocyte in the blood reduced. Detect according to these four aspects, line with all of them, particularly line with the first one, have the history of contacting with SARS; it can be diagnosed as SARS.

Three, children are naturally active, how to conduct children have activities in the SARS period?

　　Provided that the weather is good, and so does the air, may the children go out for activities. However, be careful not go into the confined space, for instance, the shopping mall and theatre. Take the children go to the open space, where enjoys the sun, and with better ventilation, moreover, the time for these activities should have a limit, not too long, about half an hour is enough for instance, do not play for a very long time outside as common.

　　In addition, as the children are hyperactivity, and could have more contacts by hands in activities, it is necessary to educate them to develop the habit of washing hands frequently, for that some children like rubbing eyes with their hands, and this is a bad habit, we have to educate them to have the good habit.

Four, for the SARS prevention shall the children have best-enhanced goods?

　　For the adults, they can take Chinese herbal medicine or some food for best-enhanced to resist against SARS, but this case is not suitable for children, the most important thing for the child to prevent SARS is to avoid contacting with the infected people. As the families did not infect the disease, it is better for the children not go outside, as long as not contact with SARS patients, the children will be certainly safe.

Five, for children SARS prevention, what specific issues should we pay attention to?

　　○Maintaining good ventilation, open the windows for ventilation, let the children take more clothes rather than closing the window.

　　○Do not take the children to the public gathering places, such as cinemas, shopping malls, and so on, so as to reduce the chances of infection.
