5 hospitalized on suspicion of MERS

Five people who recently returned from Saudi Arabia have been hospitalized at a state hospital in the central province of Kayseri with symptoms resembling those of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) virus

The five people were taken to Kayseri Research and Training Hospital on Monday with high fever two days after their return from Saudi Arabia, where they traveled for umrah, an off-season pilgrimage to Mecca.

The patients were quarantined in the hospital's resuscitation unit and are still receiving treatment.

The MERS virus, which causes coughing, fever and can lead to fatal pneumonia and kidney failure, has been reported mainly in Saudi Arabia and South Korea, but has also infected travelers to at least 25 countries worldwide. It kills about 38 percent of those it infects.

The disease is known to have originated from camels and, apart from travel-related dispersion, all MERS cases have been confined to the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, Jordan and Lebanon.

The first and single MERS-related death in Turkey was reported in October 2015.
