TAIPEI, Taiwan, The China Post Staff

A Kaohsiung hospital yesterday reported this winter's first SARS
(severe
acute
respiratory syndrome) case in Taiwan. Doctors at the Union Hospital
said
they
diagnosed a resident of the southern Taiwan port city as a suspected
SARS
case.

The resident, whose identity was withheld, visited the hospital in the
after-
noon. He showed a typical SARS symptom of a high fever, doctors said.
"He
suffered from a 37.5 degree fever for two days before coming to us,"
one
doctor

The Kaohsiung resident returned from a trip to China not long ago.

After the diagnosis, the patient was assigned to a pediatric ward,
where a
commotion took place.

Mothers of in-patient children complained about the treatment the
hospital
is
giving the SARS case in isolation in the pediatric ward.
