Síndrome respiratorio agudo grave


Definition from CDC:
El síndrome respiratorio agudo grave (SRAS) (en inglés: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS) es una enfermedad respiratoria viral causada por un coronavirus, llamado coronavirus asociado al SRAS (SRAS-CoV).

Example sentence(s):
  • El SARS-CoV fue identificado en 2002 como la causa de un brote de síndrome respiratorio agudo grave ( SARS).  - MSD Manual  
  • El síndrome respiratorio agudo grave (SARS) es una enfermedad pulmonar infecciosa aguda inducida por un coronavirus.  - orphanet  
  • El síndrome respiratorio agudo grave (SRAG), definido por algunos expertos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) como la primera epidemia del siglo XXI... - Revista Medicina Intensiva  

Explanation:
Grave, no severo.


El término severo, en español, equivale a ‘riguroso, áspero, duro en el trato’ o ‘exacto y rígido’, y no a extremo, grave, importante o serio, acepciones estas que sí tiene la voz inglesa severe.

Desde la PAHO, el CDC, los manuales Merck o MSD, como fuentes en castellano originales, utilizan correctamente grave vs severo en síndrome respiratorio agudo grave (SARS).
