Macao, HK Hospitals Hold Videoconference on SARS Treatment
The Government Hospital of the Macao Special Administrative Region held on Thursday a videoconference with experts from the Faculty of Medicine of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, discussing the latest experience of clinical diagnosis and infection control of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

Lei Chin Ion, director of the hospital, said that the exchange can help doctors with the hospital to get more access to detailed treatment methods of SARS cases.

Macao only has one confirmed SARS patient, who is still under treatment in the hospital. Lei said that the hospital has used the experience from China's mainland and Hong Kong while collecting the latest SARS treatment information from the World Health Organization in treating the patient.

The 28-year-old patient has been admitted to isolation ward for 20 days, and his body temperature had returned to normal for 15 days, suggesting his condition is recovering from the disease, Lei said.

A Hong Kong businessman who was formerly suspected of SARS infection and hospitalized in isolation ward was diagnosed of ordinary pneumonia and discharged Thursday. So far, there is no new suspected SARS patient in Macao.
