Report: North Georgia man may have SARS

By
ATLANTA - Georgia has one probable and six suspected SARS cases, state health officials said Tuesday.<br> <br> Georgia Division of Public Health officials said the state&#39;s probable case involves a man from north Georgia who was ill during a visit to China. <br> <br> Chinese health officials told the man he had an unusual chest X-ray, which would match the definition of a probable case of SARS. Georgia health officials ``haven&#39;t seen any evidence of an unusual chest X-ray,&#39;&#39; but the man is still listed as a probable case, said spokesman Richard Quartarone. <br> <br> Two people from south Georgia who became sick after returning from a trip to Asia were listed as suspected cases Friday. Last week, an east Georgia man was listed as a suspected case after becoming ill from a trip to China, Quartarone said. <br> <br> Quartarone declined to name the residents&#39; towns, citing confidentiality reasons. <br> <br> In March and April, three women from metro Atlanta - who all had traveled to affected Asian countries - were listed as suspect cases.
