First SARS patient remains anonymous and likely unidentifiable
World Health Organization officials maintain medical confidentiality about the Foshan resident believed to be the first SARS case and survivor. Chinese authorities say the man, in his 40s with four children, recovered in January after contracting the illness in Guangdong province. The WHO notes uncertainty over whether he is the first known or first detected case, as none of his children were infected while four health workers were. China reports Guangdong accounted for 44 of 55 national SARS deaths.
