Epidemiological investigation of MERS-CoV spread in a single hospital in South Korea, May to June 2015.
Euro Surveill. 2015 06 25; 20(25):1-6.ES

Abstract

In this report, we describe 37 MERS-CoV infection cases (1 primary, 25 secondary, 11 tertiary cases) in a single hospital in South Korea. The median incubation period was six days (95% CI: 4–7 days) and the duration between suspected symptom onset and laboratory confirmation was 6.5 days (95% CI: 4–9). While incubation period was two days longer, the duration from suspected symptom onset to confirmation was shorter in tertiary compared with secondary infections.
