Usage notes
The "severe acute respiratory syndrome" translates into Finnish as fi äkillinen vakava hengitystieoireyhtymä, but the term is seldom used. Usually the English initialism SARS is used as the Finnish name of this illness. An individual occurrence of SARS may be referred to as en tapaus SARS-tapaus.
