Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness caused by the SARS coronavirus, characterized by symptoms such as high fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, and it can lead to severe pneumonia. In contrast, bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, commonly caused by viral infections or irritants, leading to symptoms like coughing, mucus production, and chest discomfort. While both conditions affect the respiratory system, SARS is a specific viral infection with potential for widespread outbreaks, whereas bronchitis can be acute or chronic and is often less severe.
