Coronaviruses are enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses and usually cause upper respiratory tract infection in humans. In 2012, a novel coronavirus was found to cause cases of severe acute respiratory infection in Arabian Peninsula. This novel virüs has been defined as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Clinical presentation of MERS-CoV infection ranges from asymptomatic to severe pneumonia, multi-organ failure resulting in death. There’s no pathogen specific antiviral therapy for MERS-CoV. Therapy strategy is based on supportive approach and prevention of complications. It is very important to implement infection prevention and control procedures to decrease the the risk of spread of virus.
