Overview
The index case of MERS-CoV infection was reported in Saudi Arabia in September, 2012. Dr. Ali Mohamed Zaki, an Egyptian virologist, was the first to attribute MERS-CoV to coronavirus.
Historical Perspective
- The index case of MERS-CoV infection was reported in Saudi Arabia in September, 2012. The index patient was a middle-aged man who presented with pneumonia and acute kidney injury.
- The virus was first termed human coronavirus-EMC (Erasmus Medical Center), then it was termed human coronavirus England 1 following the isolation of the virus from a patient in the United Kingdom who had recently traveled to the Middle East.[1][2]
- On June 13 2012, Egyptian virologist, Dr. Ali Mohamed Zaki, identified the coronavirus responsible for the syndrome in Saudi Arabia.[3]
- On September 2012, the virus was first reported outside Saudi Arabia in Qatar in a 44 year old man who had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia.
- It was later determined that viruses from the EMC/2012 and England/Qatar/2012, date to early 2011, suggesting that these cases had likely descended from a single zoonotic event.[4]
- During the 2012-2013 outbreak, the World Health Organization (WHO) International Health Regulations Emergency Committee determined that MERS-CoV did not meet the criteria for a "public health emergency of international concern", but was nevertheless of "serious and of great concern".
