Camel exposure cited in latest Saudi MERS illness
Ending a 9-day stretch with no new cases, Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health (MOH) yesterday reported a MERS-CoV infection in a 72-year-old man from Hail in the north central part of the country, according to an MOH notification. The man is in stable condition, and an investigation into the source of his illness found that he had contact with camels before he got sick. His illness raises Saudi Arabia's MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) total to 1,383 cases, 592 of them fatal. Two other people are still being treated for their illnesses. http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2016/05/news-scan-may-16-2016 |
