There have been a small number of other cases of serious respiratory illness in the Middle East in the past three months, one of whom was treated in the UK but has since died.
This person's illness is also being investigated, although there is no evidence as yet to suggest that it is caused by the same virus or linked to the current case. No other confirmed cases have been identified to date in the UK.
luckily it doesn't seem to be something that transmits from person to person, but the Haj is coming up and new diseases are always a worry... ----------------- update: headline at GMA: DOH readies "SARS ROOM" to deal with new SARS like cases.
