Snippet: One important caveat is that we do not know the extent of the infection within the wider community.

Document: One important caveat is that we do not know the extent of the infection within the wider community. Since most identified patients have underlying diseases, it is possible that MERS-CoV is a common infection, at least in Saudi Arabia, and that patients without significant comorbidities develop a mild respiratory disease or remain asymptomatic. Careful epidemiological studies, which are required to address this question, are hampered by the lack of validated diagnostic tools. Knowing the number of infected humans will provide critical information about the prevalence of MERS-CoV and about the likelihood of developing severe disease.
