Possible Case of Mystery Illness in N. Virginia Friday March 21,

Northern Virginia now has a possible case of that mystery illness that has already killed ten people.

The state health department says a young adult from Loudoun County is one of three possible Virginia cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. The flu-like illness is believed to have started in China, and all of the Virginia patients have recently come back from Asia.

The other two cases in the commonwealth are in Chesapeake and central Virginia.
