Only teen MERS patient recovers

By Kim Se-jeong

A teenager who was diagnosed with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) has recovered from the disease and was sent home, according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Monday.

The 16-year-old boy, whose name was withheld, was the first and only teenage patient...

The boy was confirmed as a MERS patient on June 4 after contracting the disease at Samsung Medical Center (SMC) where he was being treated for a brain tumor. He was admitted to the hospital on May 27 and received surgery to remove the tumor. He showed no sign of complications involving respiratory problems, according to a ministry official. His father who was with him to care for him also contracted the virus.

The teenager's case took the health authorities by surprise in the beginning, because it was believed children were virtually immune to the virus.

No other adolescents have been confirmed with the disease, but hundreds of teenagers remain under medical surveillance.
