The anti-malaria drug chloroquine could be used to treat severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) researchers claimed this week.
A research team at the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL) in Belgium say that chloroquine 'is active against the SARS coronavirus in laboratory experiments'.
'Chloroquine could be of great importance as preventive medication for people living in or travelling to SARS-affected areas, and as an antiviral treatment for SARS patients,' they said in a statement.
Nearly 800 people died from SARS after it emerged in southern China in late 2002.
China, the hardest hit country, has reported several new cases this year.
