To the Editor: Our teaching hospital was the site of a major outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).¹ We sequenced viral isolates cultured from clinical specimens from seven patients with SARS in this outbreak. The viral isolates were from passage 1 of the SARS coronavirus cultured in Vero cells.² We obtained the complete genomic sequence of the virus cultured from the mother of the index patient in this hospital outbreak (isolate Su-10, GenBank accession number AY282752).¹ The mother's symptoms had begun on March 5, 2003; she died on April 13, 2003. We also sequenced the spike glycoprotein . . . [Full Text of this Article]
