(LEAD) Additional S. Korean dies from MERS

2015/06/05 06:26

SEOUL, June 5 (Yonhap) -- An additional South Korean has died from the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, the health ministry said Friday, bringing the total number of deaths from the viral disease to four.

The ministry also reported five new cases, raising the total to 41.

The new fatality came on Thursday as a 76-year-old patient, who was confirmed on May 21 to have contracted the virus, died.

The five new patients include a 45-year-old Air Force chief master sergeant, which represented the first MERS case among members of the military. He was hospitalized in the same hospital as South Korea's first MERS patient last month, but the case could also be a tertiary infection at the hospital.

The four other cases are also believed to be tertiary infection cases.

(3rd LD) S. Korea reports 4th death from MERS, with 5 new cases

...
The five new cases confirmed Friday were also believed to be tertiary transmission cases.

They included an Air Force chief master sergeant who was in the same hospital as the first MERS patient, but health ministry officials believe it was a case of tertiary transmission from another person who had contracted the MERS coronavirus from the first patient at the hospital.

Such speculation is based on the fact that the man began showing symptoms of MERS past the maximum known incubation period of 14 days for the disease since his last possible contact with the first patient on May 17, they noted.
...
The health ministry is conducting a DNA test of the MERS coronavirus to see whether there has been any mutation of the virus that could explain what it believes to be an unusually fast and wide spreading of the disease...
...
The ministry said a team of experts from the World Health Organization was set to visit the country, possibly next week, to check for any reasons for the spread of the disease in South Korea, which it said is showing different patterns and speed from the spread in Saudi Arabia...
