MERS (Síndrome respiratòria de l'Orient Mitjà)


Definition from Gran enciclopèdia catalana:
Malaltia infecciosa causada per un virus de la família dels coronavirus, coneguda per la sigla MERS (del nom en anglès Middle East respiratory syndrome).
Afecta el sistema respiratori (pulmons i vies) i cursa amb símptomes de febre, tos i esbufecs en persones de qualsevol edat. Es transmet pel contacte o la proximitat amb malalts, bé que el mecanisme del contagi no es coneix amb precisió, i es creu que l’origen del virus es localitza en camells i dromedaris, en els quals s’ha identificat també el virus. Fou detectada per primer cop a Jordània el 2012, i entre el 30% i el 40% dels pacients diagnosticats aquell any van morir. El miler de casos confirmats per l’Organització Mundial de la Salut el 2015 procedien d’estats de la península Aràbiga, Jordània, Kuwait, el Líban i l’Iran, o de persones que hi havien viatjat. No té tractament ni vacuna coneguts.
