Reports of cases seem to trickle in every other day or so and are not from one area of the country but from all regions and yet the number of active cases never varies much. Saudi Arabia reports 2 new MERS cases and 2 deaths Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health (MOH) reported two new MERS-CoV cases, one recovery, and the deaths of two previously reported patients over the past several days. The first MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) case involves a 59-year-old Saudi man from the eastern city of Dammam who is hospitalized in stable condition. He is not a healthcare worker, and the source of his exposure is listed as "contact with camels," the MOH said in an Apr 9 update. The second patient is a 21-year-old Saudi man in Hofuf who is in stable condition, the MOH said today. He is not a healthcare worker and had recent contact with camels. The MOH yesterday reported the deaths of two patients, one of whom was a 78-year-old Saudi woman from Buraydah, the site of an ongoing hospital MERS cluster. She was not a healthcare worker and had an underlying medical condition. The other fatality was in a 65-year-old man from Ar Rass, which is near Buraydah in Al-Qassim province. The man was not a healthcare worker and had preexisting disease. A previously reported patient in Buraydah has also recovered from his infection, the MOH said yesterday. The recovery occurred in a 57-year-old Saudi man who is not a healthcare worker and had an underlying medical condition. Today's update brings the MERS-CoV total in Saudi Arabia since 2012 to 1,371 cases, including 587 deaths. Nine cases remain active. http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2016/04/news-scan-apr-11-2016 |
