Abstract

This report describes a graduate student in microbiology in Singapore in whom fever and respiratory symptoms led to the diagnosis of infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus in September 2003. The student had worked with a vial of West Nile virus, but an epidemiologic investigation found SARS virus contaminating the vial.
