Abstract A novel coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was recently identified as the cause of severe respiratory disease. In this report from Saudi Arabia, a family cluster of infection over a 6-week period is described, suggesting possible limited person-to-person transmission. MERS-CoV was first reported in September 2012 in samples obtained from a Saudi Arabian businessman who died from acute respiratory and renal failure. 1 As of May 28, 2013, a total of 49 cases of human MERS-CoV infection with 26 deaths have been reported to the World Health Organization (WHO). MERS-CoV is the first betacoronavirus belonging to lineage C that is known to infect humans. 2 It belongs to the Coronaviridae family, a group of large, enveloped single-stranded RNA viruses that are known for their genomic plasticity and their ability to cause a range of infections in mammalian and avian hosts.

AbstractList A human coronavirus, called the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), was first identified in September 2012 in samples obtained from a Saudi Arabian businessman who died from acute respiratory failure. Since then, 49 cases of infections caused by MERS-CoV (previously called a novel coronavirus) with 26 deaths have been reported to date. In this report, we describe a family case cluster of MERS-CoV infection, including the clinical presentation, treatment outcomes, and household relationships of three young men who became ill with MERS-CoV infection after the hospitalization of an elderly male relative, who died of the disease. Twenty-four other family members living in the same household and 124 attending staff members at the hospitals did not become ill. MERS-CoV infection may cause a spectrum of clinical illness. Although an animal reservoir is suspected, none has been discovered. Meanwhile, global concern rests on the ability of MERS-CoV to cause major illness in close contacts of patients.
