he MeSH Section announces the addition of a new MeSH descriptor, SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME,
following the issuing of a global alert by the World Health Organization for the outbreak of this new
disease. Indexing with the new descriptor began March 25, 2003. Citations with this descriptor may be
retrieved in PubMed beginning March 28, 2003; and seen in <EM>Index Medicus</EM> beginning with the May 2003 issue.
</P>
<P>
The new descriptor is not listed in the printed MeSH tools as it was added after the MeSH tools were
published. It was available in the <A HREF="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html">MeSH Browser</A> on March 31, 2003. You may want to add the following
to your printed MeSH tools:
