Body temperature of the SARS patient in east China's Anhui Province has restored to normal level, said a local official.

The patient, with surname Song, is now receiving treatment in the No. 1 Affiliated Hospital with the Anhui Medical University, said Zhang Xuejun, President of the AMU.

On Friday night, Song's body temperature was 37.5 degrees Celsius. It went down to 36.5 degrees Celsius Saturday morning, said Zhang.

Song has a good appetite and ate half egg, half bread and some soybean milk as breakfast Saturday morning, said Zhang. Song also began to use her mobile phone to send messages to relatives and friends.

The Ministry of Health announced two SARS cases in Anhui Friday afternoon. Song is a 26-year-old female postgraduate at AMU. She studied in Beijing at a laboratory of the institute of virus diseases under the Chinese Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) from March 7 to 22.

On March 23, Song went back to Hefei, capital of Anhui, by train and then returned to Beijing by train after complaining of fever on March 25. Later Song went to see doctors at Beijing and Huainan City of Anhui Province. On April 4, she was transferred to the No. 1 Affiliated Hospital with the Anhui Medical University for viral pneumonia.

Another suspected SARS patient was Song's mother. She died on April 19.
