近日,韓國籍中東呼吸症候群(MERS)患者進入到廣東惠州引起社會高度關注,MERS病毒於2012年在中東發現,並引起了全球科學家的關注,其不同於伊波拉的接觸式傳播,與其「表親」SARS一樣,是通過空氣傳播的。MERS與SARS均屬於同一個β冠狀病毒屬,而且均屬於C亞型;感染後也會出現發燒、呼吸衰竭,有時伴有腎衰竭等類似症狀。數據統計表明,MERS致死率遠高於SARS的10%,達到37%(中國疾控中心公布數據為27%)以上,但該病毒傳播速度並不快。
據世衛組織公開數據,截至5月中旬,3年來MERS病毒在全球20多個國家累計感染1100多例患者。目前國際上尚未有證據表明,該病毒可以在人群中廣泛傳播,大多是接觸動物或醫院內密切接觸感染。
本文中小編整理了關於MERS的最新研究文獻,希望可以讓大家更為深入地了解該疾病的研究進展。
