what is the change in the physiology if you have SARS ?

SARS severe acute respiratory syndrome. Is a form of pneumonia. It causes a high fever and an accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Warning symptoms may include fever, headache, body aches, in some cases diarrhea, followed in 2 to 7 days, a dry cough, and flu-like symptoms. It is caused by an atypical corona virus. It can be fatal.

A general term describing body's response to a viral infection. Depending on the virus, it usually involves mild fever, mild chills, sore throat, nasal congestion, overall feeling of malaise.  That's true especially for upper respiratory viruses. Hepatitis virus could cause some of the above, plus pain around the liver area. So each virus is a bit different, but there are some common response patterns, which are termed "acute viral syndrome."

it doesnt....it just doesnt reproduce. Now, the body can get rid of certain infections on its own which is where the virus load actually decreases.Hope that was helpful. I'm sure you were expecting some big long drawn out answer which I could give you about how antibodies in the body work....but thats not what you asked.

I'm also amazed at the answers including the preceding one. It's true it's all about bouyancy. But is bouyancy affected significantly by the dissolved oxygen in the tissues? According to the ref., bouyancy is just about lung capacity, bone, fat and muscle ratios. And of course the salinity of the water. Also, panic-induced body tension can reduce lung capacity and muscle performance.  \nAnyway, a change in tissue oxygen level would happen slowly; it's a diffusive process. Second, the density difference of water with and without dissolved oxygen has to be minute since oxygen is only sparingly soluble.

First, follow the chronologic order:\nEtiology -\nSevere acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a serious, potentially life-threatening viral infection caused by a previously unrecognized virus from the Coronaviridae family. This virus has been named the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Previously, Coronaviridae were best known as the second most common cause of the common cold.\n\nPathophysiology -\nSARS is caused by a new member of the coronavirus family (the same family that can cause the common cold). The discovery of these viral particles represents some of the fastest identification of a new organism in history.\n\nSARS is clearly spread by droplet contact. When someone with SARS coughs or sneezes, infected droplets are sprayed into the air. Like other coronaviruses, the SARS virus may live on hands, tissues, and other surfaces for up to 6 hours in these droplets and up to 3 hours after the droplets have dried.\n\nWhile droplet transmission through close contact was responsible for most of the early cases of SARS, evidence began to mount that SARS might also spread by hands and other objects the droplets had touched. Airborne transmission was a real possibility in some cases. Live virus had even been found in the stool of people with SARS, where it has been shown to live for up to four days. And the virus may be able to live for months or years when the temperature is below freezing.\n\nWith other coronaviruses, re-infection is common. Preliminary reports suggest that this may also be the case with SARS.\n\nPreliminary estimates are that the incubation period is usually between 2 and 10 days, although there have been documented cases where the onset of illness was considerably faster or slower. People with active symptoms of illness are clearly contagious, but it is not known how long contagiousness may begin before symptoms appear or how long contagiousness might linger after the symptoms have disappeared.\n\nReports of possible relapse in patients who have been treated and released from the hospital raise concerns about the length of time individuals can harbor the virus.\n\nClinical Manifestations or S/Sx -\n    * Fever\n    * Chills and shaking\n    * Muscle aches\n    * Cough\n    * Headache\n\nLess common symptoms include (also in order):\n\n    * Dizziness\n    * Productive cough (sputum)\n    * Sore throat\n    * Runny nose\n    * Nausea and vomiting\n    * Diarrhea\n\nTreatment -\nPeople suspected of having SARS should be evaluated immediately by a physician and hospitalized under isolation if they meet the definition of a suspected or probable case.\n\nAntibiotics are sometimes given in an attempt to treat bacterial causes of atypical pneumonia. Antiviral medications have also been used. High doses of steroids have been employed to reduce lung inflammation. In some serious cases, serum from people who have already gotten well from SARS (convalescent serum) has been given. Evidence of general benefit of these treatments has been inconclusive.\n\nOther supportive care such as supplemental oxygen, chest physiotherapy, or mechanical ventilation is sometimes needed.

Yes of course. You might not be allowed if it is during the Sars period. Try to put on a pair of spectacles to protect your eyes. AND please wash your hands after you touch your eyes. AND please visit a doctor in Singapore. Doctors in Singapore are one of the best in the world. =)

muscular system helps you move.....with out that you couldnt move anywhere......respiratory helps you breath.......circulatory helps the blood move through the body and other fluids get where they are going

yes, and also the water..possibly lowered your resistance to illness. plus heat fever happens...drink more water.

your body is susceptible to infection.

No.  Being sick drains your body.  Still drink lots of fluids and give your body some time to rest.  Wait a couple of days before going back to your normal routine.

i had mono for three weeks and i had absolutely no appetite and it was somewhat like the flu just worse. High fever, fatigue, swolen glands, and pale skin.

The influenza virus is very bad right now. That come's with a dry nonproductive cough. Also that fullness you are feeling sounds like pneumonia.You need a chest xray to tell for sure.Don't wait to long if it is pneumonia it can kill you.

i think human diseases r interesting. besides that, how bout healing properties of some tradisional herbs/plants? i'm currently working on pathogenic bacteria. maybe u can try to look into pathogens too? since pathogen like SARS, avian influenza and HIV are emerging problems for mankind... most importantly, which area r u interested?

Once the body realizes there is a viral infection it goes into the antiviral state, which includes raising the body temperature, resulting in fever.  The reason for this is quite simple.  When the viruses genetic material is transcribed (if it needs to be) and translated into proteins by the host ribosomes, many of the proteins result in enzymes that act to make more copies of the virus to infect other cells.  These enzymes are very heat sensitive, and raising the temperature they are in can often slow them down or even deactivate them completely, slowing down the progression of the virus.  It is not always a good idea to take Tylenol or Advil the minute you get a fever, it is quite beneficial, and is only dangerous over 101 or 102.

Your body produces to much mucus and this causes you to have problems. It can affect your stomach, your lungs and your reproductive organs. Its a terminal illness and life expectantcy(sp) is between 31-36. If you need details let me know, i've learned alot about it.
