Re: General Questions
Sep 29, 2001

From the literature I have been able to locate it seems that the antibodies appear by 25 days after infection. The studies I have been able to locate place the time of ARS as being 2 to 4 weeks after infection(ie. 14-28 days). Do you find this to be true in as far as you are aware? I have two other questions: first what is the usuall time it takes from the time a person shows antibodies to the onset of ARS symptoms? My last question is would you in your professional opinion think that it would be highly unlikely for ARS to begin to present syptoms 35-36 ( 5 weeks +1 day) days after infection? You are doing a wonderful job with this site. Thank you much for your assistance.

Response from Dr. Holodniy

Yes.

ARS symptoms usually begin before antibody detection.

Yes.
