2003 APR 9 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The U.S. government increased to 22 the number of people in America suspected of having the mysterious flu-like illness that has sickened hundreds in Asia.

The suspected cases of those made ill by severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, involve people who recently have been to Asia and developed fever and respiratory problems.

"We need to be highly vigilant," said Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the federal agency. People who have had close contact with ill patients can contract SARS, Gerberding said.

In one case, an ill traveler from Asia may have infected two health workers. Another traveler to Asia is suspected of spreading the illness to a family member.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) web site listed six cases in California; three in Hawaii; two each in the states of North Carolina, New York and Virginia; and one case each in Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, and Wisconsin.
