Example sentence(s):
  • Tauti sai nimekseen vakava äkillinen hengitystieoireyhtymä (severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS) (Drosten ym. 2003). Usean virologisen laboratorion yhteistyössä taudin aiheuttajaksi paljastui muutamassa kuukaudessa uusi koronavirus, SARS-koronavirus. - Duodecim  
  • Viimeksi kuluneiden 18 vuoden aikana mukaan on liittynyt kolme eläinsyntyistä koronainfektiota: 2002–2003 vakava äkillinen hengitystieoireyhtymä SARS (3), vuodesta 2012 alkaen Lähi-idän hengitystieoireyhtymä MERS ja viimeistään marraskuusta 2019 lähtien Wuhanin "uudenlainen" koronavirustauti (2019-nCoV) (4). - lääkärilehti  
  • Sars on vakava, äkillinen hengitystieoireyhtymä, johon usein liittyy keuhkokuume. Taudin aiheuttaa aiemmin tuntematon koronavirus, jonka alkuperää ei tiedetä. Sars leviää tiettävästi pisaratartuntana tai kosketuksen kautta. - Yle-uutiset
