MERS -- Saudi Arabia
Human MERS activity in Saudi Arabia increased in the last few days, specifically in Qaseem region. Sporadic cases were reported from different hospitals in the region. They were not healthcare related and not epidemiologically linked, except one case that we think acquired MERS in a dialysis unit. This case shared one dialysis session with another case that had a respiratory illness but was MERS-negative initially and later proved to be MERS-positive.
