129	10-Apr	Source of SGH Cluster		60s	M		SUPER-INFECTOR: Source of SGH cluster Epidemiological investigations have traced the source of this cluster of infections to a Chinese man in his 60s who had been admitted to TTSH from 5 to 20 March 03 for chronic kidney disease and diabetes. He was admitted to SGH Ward 57 Intermediate Care Area on 24 March 03 for gastrointestinal bleeding. He had a diabetic foot ulcer and was noted to have a low grade fever since admission. A chest X-ray on 24 March was clear. He was treated for his medical conditions and was started on antibiotics. On 28 March, he developed high fever. A repeat chest X-ray on that day was normal. He was treated with antibiotics and on 29 March 03, he was transferred to Ward 58 B2. Tests showed that he had an infection of the blood by a bacteria, E.Coli. Chest X-ray on 30 March was again normal. He was given a stronger antibiotic and on 3 April 02, he no longer had fever. However, his chest x-ray on 4 April 03 showed signs of pneumonia and he has been diagnosed as a SARS case by the doctors in TTSH. Although the clinical picture of this patient is not typical of SARS, it is likely that the typical symptoms of SARS were masked by his other underlying medical conditions. It is believed that he had come in contact with a SARS patient who had not yet been diagnosed during the time that he was admitted to TTSH.
