    Document: In a recent outbreak in Korea, an infected business man returning from the Middle East had introduced MERS-CoV into the country (3) . The outbreak was amplified by superspreading events in hospitals and resulted in 186 laboratory-confirmed cases with 38 fatalities, the largest outbreak outside the Arabian Peninsula (4, 5) . Factors contributing to the large hospital outbreaks included delay in diagnosis of the index case, overcrowding in emergency departments, movements of patients prior to diagnoses, and suboptimal infection prevention and control (6) . During the outbreak, almost 17,000 individuals with an epidemiologic risk were quarantined for monitoring, and all the lab-oratory-confirmed cases were admitted to the hospitals for isolation as soon as the diagnoses were made. Consequently, the Korean outbreak provided a unique opportunity to conduct prospective studies on MERS-CoV infection.
