MERS Coronavirus Infection Remains A Threat In The Middle East
SHARE

President Trump recently concluded a fast-paced visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, where his arrival in Qatar was accompanied by a royal camel escort. It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia had recently experienced an outbreak of MERS-CoV, a potentially fatal respiratory virus associated with camels. The outbreak resulted in nine reported cases, including two fatalities and a cluster of infections among healthcare workers in Riyadh.

MERS-CoV, similar to the virus causing Covid, is a novel coronavirus primarily found in dromedary camels in the Arabian Peninsula. Since its emergence in 2012, MERS has led to 2,627 cases and 946 deaths across 27 countries, with a high fatality rate of 36%. The majority of cases have been reported in Saudi Arabia, highlighting the region’s susceptibility to the virus. The recent cluster in Saudi Arabia underscores the risk of transmission within healthcare settings, as seen in previous outbreaks like the one in South Korea in 2015.

Symptoms of MERS include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and pneumonia, with severe cases leading to respiratory failure and death. Individuals with underlying health conditions are at higher risk of developing severe illness. MERS spreads through direct or indirect contact with infected camels, with human-to-human transmission occurring through respiratory secretions.

Given the lack of specific treatments or vaccines for MERS, preventive measures such as avoiding contact with camels and practicing infection control in healthcare settings are crucial in curbing the spread of the virus. While royal camel displays may be a traditional welcome in the Middle East, it is essential to exercise caution and prioritize health and safety measures, especially in regions where MERS outbreaks have occurred.
