ABSTRACT

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.
