严重急性呼吸系统综合症（SARS）在飞机上传播的风险是公众和航空业的主要关注点。为了评估这种风险，我们检查了飞往新加坡的SARS患者航班的数据。在三架有症状的SARS患者的航班中，只有一架发生了飞机上的传播。据估计，发病率为156名乘客中的1人。SARS在飞机上传播的风险似乎远低于报告的流感，但可能会随着飞机上的超级传播者而增加。
The risk of transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) on airplanes is of major concern to the public and airline industry. We examined data from flights to Singapore with SARS patients on board in order to assess this risk. In-flight transmission occurred only in one of the three flights with symptomatic SARS patients on board. The incidence was estimated to be 1 out of 156 passengers. The risk of in-flight transmission of SARS appears to be far lower than that reported for influenza, but may be increased with superspreaders on board.
