More than
100 US soldiers in Iraq struck with pneumonia
08/02/03: (ABC Australia) The US Army has dispatched a team of
medical experts to Iraq to investigate a spate of serious pneumonia
cases among its troops.
Military officials say two soldiers have died of the pneumonia and more
than 100 are ill.
Army medical authorities say they are concerned because the pneumonia is
attacking healthy, young soldiers, which means it is likely to be a
virulent strain.
Authorities say there is no evidence of chemical, biological, or
environmental toxins involved in the troops' illness, and SARS [severe
acute respiratory syndrome] has also been ruled out.
