Update on Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus epidemiology, diagnosis and management
Keywords:
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Coronavirus, MERS-CoV, Epidemiology
Abstract
In the mid of 2012, Middle East respiratory syndrome otherwise termed as, coronavirus (MERS-CoV) emerged among the leading serious infection within the peninsula region with chances of transmission to the most parts of the world. The greatest infection was first confirmed in the Northern part of Saudi Arabia where 50 deaths were experienced and 80 ceases of illness were reported. Apart from the reported cases, possible laboratory reports confirmed that such a compulsory sequence of infection is mainly transmitted through Carmel and bats. While there is no specific cure for coronavirus (MERS-CoV), International health governing authorities such as world health organization and the Pan American Health organization (PAHO) have placed recommendations to healthcare institutions of different countries to provide relevant information with regard to preventive measures of the disease.Such has been brought amid skepticism that the disease has no cure. Therefore, regulating prevalence rate of MERS-CoV through means such; as environmental engineering controls, administrative measures and immediate isolation of the infected patients, plays best to curb the rate of infection.
