SARS病原体初期认定之谬留下的思考

Reflections on ttae initial misidentification of the pathogen of SARS

重症急性呼吸系统综合征(SARS)病原体初期认定中的谬误反映出的浮躁学风,对于医学科技工作者有重要的启示和警示意义。为有效降低SARS临床诊断失误、成功获取SARS特异性诊断的可靠方法,必须大力弘扬坚持真理、藐视权威的科学精神,倡导严谨求实、精益求精、百折不挠的科学作风,脚踏实地,切忌浮躁,以夺取抗击SARS的真正胜利。

The rashness in research as reflected in the initial misidentification of the pathogen of SARS is of great enlightening and warning significance to scientific and technical workers in the medical field. In order to effec-tively reduce errors in the clinical diagnosis of SARS, succeed in obtaining reliable methods for its specific diagnosis, and strive for a genuine victory in the fight against it, it is imperative to vigorously uphold the scientific spirit of adher-ing to truths and defying authorities and promote the style of doing things in a rigorous, realistic, accurate, persistent and down-to-earth manner. Rashness must be avoided by all means.
