The South Korean National Institute of Health reported a third case of severe acute respiratory syndrome infection Tuesday. The patient, who is a local man in his 20s, developed the symptoms after traveling from Taiwan through Hong Kong two weeks ago.

Quarantine officers at Incheon International Airport did not find any symptoms when he entered Korea May 5, but later he developed a high fever, cough and pneumonia symptoms. He did not report to the health institute, but was treated by a local physician.

The national health institute traced and quarantined the man Tuesday. It also confined to their homes six of his co-workers, his parents and two medical staff, although so far they have shown no symptoms of SARS.

About 103 passengers, including 36 Koreans, were on the same plane with the patients.
