Abstract

Derlemenin amacı 2012 yılında yeni tanımlanmış MERS (Orta
Doğu Solunum Sendromu) hastalığı etkeni olan MERS-CoV (Orta Doğu Solunum
Sendromu Coronavirüs) virüsünü tanımak ve günümüze kadar neden olduğu olgu
artışlarını ortaya koymaktır. Aynı Coronavirüs ailesinde yer alan salgın etkeni
SARS’dan (%11) daha yüksek fatalite hızına (%34.4) sahip MERS-CoV salgınları,
ilk tanımlandığından bu yana 27 ülkede, 858 ölüm dahil toplam 2494 olgu ile
küresel bir halk sağlığı tehdidi haline gelmiştir. Özellikle yakın temas ile
bulaşmakta olan MERS-CoV virüsü hastane kaynaklı salgınlara neden olarak
insandan insana yayılabilmektedir.

MIDDLE EAST RESPIRATORY SYNDROME CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK

Abstract

The aim of this review is to learn about MERS (Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome) and track its increasing occurence since its first
identification in 2012. The outbreaks of MERS-CoV have a higher fatality rate
(34.4%) than the SARS virus(11%) which is also under the Coronavirus family,
has become a global threat with 2494 cases and 858 deaths across 27 countries
since it was first diagnosed. The virus can be easily transmitted by close
contact and cause hospital based outbreaks, spreading from human to human.
