Snippet: This case illustrates many of the clinical and infection control aspects of MERS. There are several unanswered questions in this case. Was MERS contracted at home or during his first hospitalization? Were the first and second MERS specimens obtained from the same anatomical location, i.e., lower respiratory tract?

Document: This case illustrates many of the clinical and infection control aspects of MERS. There are several unanswered questions in this case. Was MERS contracted at home or during his first hospitalization? Were the first and second MERS specimens obtained from the same anatomical location, i.e., lower respiratory tract? Why was the first specimen negative and the second positive for MERS ten days later? As with non-pandemic influenza, the mortality of MERS is highest in those with comorbidities. 5, 14 Most MERS cases occur in healthy adults (median age 50 y), but MERS can effect hosts of any age.
