卡羅歐巴尼（Carlo Urbani）是一名義大利醫生和微生物學家，他在2002–2003年SARS爆發期間，成為第一個識別和分類嚴重急性呼吸綜合症（SARS）的人，卻也因此不幸身亡。此書為緬懷歐巴尼醫師逝世二十週年，旨在透過他的朋友、同事和熟人的回憶，向年輕一代講述「SARS醫生」的故事，使他的醫學貢獻與博愛意志，能持續激勵和造福著世界各地的人們。

Carlo Urbani, an Italian doctor and microbiologist, made history as the first person to identify and classify Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) or atypical pneumonia during its outbreak between 2002 and 2003. Tragically, he succumbed to the same disease on March 29th, 2003, while working in Bangkok. Two decades later, this book aims to recount the story of the “SARS doctor” to younger generations. Urbani’s legacy lives on through the continued efforts of his friends, colleagues, and acquaintances who have carried on his work and the protocol he established.
