    Document: Our study has potential limitations. We used a retrospective chart review design performed in a single center with a small study population. Furthermore, our study was not designed to compare depressed and non-depressed patients. Additionally, the small sample size may have affected the prevalence rate of psychiatric symptoms and treatment. Despite these limitations, our findings indicate that the acute treatment of MERS-CoV infections in quarantine had a significant impact on the patients' mental health. Furthermore, assessment of the risk factors for depression may identify vulnerable patients who require psychiatric care and attention during hospital quarantine. Our findings suggest the need to increase mental health services during the acute treatment phase of EIDs and to conduct follow-up studies in survivors.
