Abstract

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a newly emerging respiratory virus. It was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012. MERS-CoV infection is characterized by a spectrum of illness ranging from mild to acute and fulminant disease. The majority of patients present with fever, fever with chills/rigors, cough, shortness of breath, and dry cough. Cases of human-to-human transmission have been documented. There is currently no specific treatment and vaccination for MERS-CoV infection. Surveillance and infection-control measures are of vital importance to an ef­ficient public health response.

Özet

Orta Doğu Solunum Sendromu coronovirüsü (MERS-CoV) yeni ortaya çıkan bir solunum virüsüdür. Bu virus ilk olarak 2012 yılında Suudi Arabistan’da tanımlanmıştır. Orta Doğu solunum sendromu koronavirüs enfeksiyonu akut hafif bir hastalık ile fulminan hastalık arasında değişen bir klinik spektrum ile karakterizedir. Hastaların çoğunluğunda ateş, ateş ile titreme, öksürük, nefes darlığı ve kuru öksürük bildirilmiştir. İnsandan insana bulaşan vakalar belgelenmiştir. MERSCoV enfeksiyonu için günümüzde özel bir tedavi ve aşılama yoktur. Sürveyans ve infeksiyon kontrol önlemleri halk sağlığı için hayati öneme sahiptir
