Key Points

To determine the changes in viral load of MERS coronavirus during the course of illness.
Analyzed viral load in 17 patients during MERS coronavirus infection.
Monitored changes in viral load over the course of illness.
Viral load kinetics were observed to change significantly during the illness period.
Identified distinct patterns of viral load among the infected patients.

Implication

Examines viral load changes in MERS coronavirus in patients, suggesting key dynamics during illness.

Abstract

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus continues to circulate in the Middle East. During a recent outbreak in Korea, changes in MERS coronavirus viral load were determined during the course of illness in 17 patients.
