    Snippet: In this issue of the Journal [5] , Park et al. reported the clinical and epidemiological findings of the MERS-CoV outbreak at Hospitals A and B. They showed that the median time from symptom onset to the development of pneumonia was 6 days for patients at Hospital A, and 3 days at Hospital B. They also found that the case fatality ratio was 30.8% (4/13) at Hospital A, and 70% (7/10) at Hospital B. Based on these findings, they suggested that the .....
    Document: In this issue of the Journal [5] , Park et al. reported the clinical and epidemiological findings of the MERS-CoV outbreak at Hospitals A and B. They showed that the median time from symptom onset to the development of pneumonia was 6 days for patients at Hospital A, and 3 days at Hospital B. They also found that the case fatality ratio was 30.8% (4/13) at Hospital A, and 70% (7/10) at Hospital B. Based on these findings, they suggested that the index patient might have shedded higher titers of MERS-CoV in respiratory secretions during his admission at Hospital B than at Hospital A. His chest computerized tomography scans obtained on May 28 (at Hospital B) showed more extensive infiltrates than that obtained on May 22 (at Hospital A).
