摘要：

In summary, the experiences in our two cases show that SARS, in end-stage renal failure patients, may have an atypical presentation. They can present with minimal symptoms, e.g. low-grade fever only, leading to diagnostic difficulty. The optimal ribavirin dose for treating SARS in patients with end-stage renal failure and in those receiving haemodialysis is unknown. Further studies are warranted to clarify these. I.v. pulse methylprednisolone given at the phase of deterioration seems to be of benefit. One patient died of SARS and the other recovered from the disease.
