The SARS patient in east China's Anhui Province, surnamed Song, has been
recovering, said Zhang Xuejun, president of Anhui University of Medical
Sciences.
Song, aged 26, who is now receiving medical treatment at the No. 1 Hospital
affiliated to the Anhui University of Medical Sciences, had a normal temperature
of 36.7 degrees Celsius on Sunday and saw improvement in other life signs such
as breath and blood pressure as well, said Zhang.
According to Zhang, medical workers are using albumin and blood plasma to
help her regain strength and improve immunity, along with antibiotics to prevent
her from secondary infection.
The Chinese Ministry of Health announced two SARS cases in Anhui on Friday
afternoon. The other SARS patient in Anhui was Song's mother, who died on April
19.
Song, who does her postgraduate courses with the Anhui University of Medical
Sciences, studied at a Beijing-based research institute of virus diseases under
the Chinese Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) from March 7 to 22.
On March 23, Song went back to Hefei, capital of Anhui Province, by train and
then returned to Beijing by train after complaining of fever on March 25. Later,
she went to see doctors in Beijing and Huainan City of Anhui Province. On April
4, she was transferred to the No. 1 Hospital under the Anhui University of
Medical Sciences for further treatment.
