| Abstract | Introduction: Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) , was first identified in 2012 in Saudi Arabia. Coronaviruses are a large family of enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses that infect a number of different species, including humans. They predominantly cause mild self-limiting upper respiratory tract infections, but can cause pneumonia and serious illness in older people, people with heart disease, diabetes or immune compromised patients. Pneumonia has been the most common clinical presentation and appears to be the result of repeated introductions of the virus. |
