    Snippet: Our study has several limitations. First, clinical and laboratory data were retrospectively collected through electronic medical records, and thus unknown risk factors and bias might have been unequally distributed between the two groups, although cases were enrolled prospectively by means of active surveillance of outbreaks. Second, our findings are not generalizable to immunocompromised patient and those with pneumonia, because most patients in.....
    Document: Our study has several limitations. First, clinical and laboratory data were retrospectively collected through electronic medical records, and thus unknown risk factors and bias might have been unequally distributed between the two groups, although cases were enrolled prospectively by means of active surveillance of outbreaks. Second, our findings are not generalizable to immunocompromised patient and those with pneumonia, because most patients in this study were immunocompetent hosts without pneumonia. Finally, these laboratory findings suggested in our study are not the definite diagnostic method for MERS-CoV, and it may only be the adjunctive tool for quarantine strategy during the MERS hospital outbreak. Despite these shortcomings, we believe that our study provides clinically useful findings for infection control strategy, especially in the MERS https://doi.org/10.3346/jkms.2017.32.1.151 nosocomial outbreak setting.
