Total Of 32 People died In Saudi Arabia After Sars Like Virus
Total Of 32 People died In Saudi Arabia After Sars Like Virus
Subscribe to NewsMedia24
Four more people have died from the MERS virus in Saudi Arabia, bringing the death toll from the SARS-like virus in the kingdom to 32, the health ministry has said.
A statement on the ministry's website said on Monday two people had died in the western city of Taif and the other two were pronounced dead in the Eastern Province, where most cases have been registered.
Two weeks ago, the World Health Organisation (WHO) had raised the global death toll from the SARS-like virus MERS to 31, after a new fatality in hard-hit Saudi Arabia.
Previously known as novel coronavirus, the disease was last month renamed Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, or MERS-CoV, reflecting the fact that the bulk of the cases are in that region.

WHO says new coronavirus may be passed person to person The World Health Organization says it appears likely that the novel coronavirus (NCoV) can be passed between people in close contact.
This comes after the French health ministry confirmed a second man had contracted the virus in a possible case of human-to-human transmission.
Two more people in Saudi Arabia are also reported to have died from the virus, according to health officials.
NCoV is known to cause pneumonia and sometimes kidney failure.
World Health Organization (WHO) officials have expressed concern over the clusters of cases of the new coronavirus strain and the potential for it to spread.
Since 2012, there have been 34 confirmed cases across Europe and the Middle East, with 18 deaths, according to a recent WHO update.
Cases have been detected in Saudi Arabia and Jordan and have spread to Germany, the UK and France.
"Of most concern... is the fact that the different clusters seen in multiple countries increasingly support the hypothesis that when there is close contact this novel coronavirus can transmit from person to person," the World Health Organization said on Sunday.
"This pattern of person-to-person transmission has remained limited to some small clusters and so far, there is no evidence to suggest the virus has the capacity to sustain generalised transmission in communities," the statement adds.
France's second confirmed case was a 50-year-old man who had shared a hospital room in Valenciennes, northern France, with a 65-year-old who fell ill with the virus after returning from Dubai.
"Positive results [for the virus] have been confirmed for both patients," the French health ministry said, adding that both men were being treated in isolation wards.
Meanwhile, the Saudi deputy minister of health said on Sunday that two more people had died from the coronavirus, bringing the number of fatalities to nine in the most recent outbreak in al-Ahsa governorate in the east of Saudi Arabia, Reuters news agency reports.
The Saudi health ministry said that 15 people had died out of the 24 cases diagnosed since last summer.
WHO officials have not yet confirmed the latest deaths.

Centre for Health Protection Controller Dr Leung Ting-hung has called on doctors to watch for patients with novel coronavirus signs, saying early symptoms may not be respiratory.
Dr Leung issued the caution at a press conference today, after Saudi Arabia and France reported coronavirus cases to the World Health Organisation last week.
He said those infected with coronavirus may initially show atypical symptoms, such as diarrhoea. He asked doctors to pay special attention to immunocompromised patients and those with underlying medical conditions.
The centre will write to public and private hospitals and practising doctors reminding them to be on high alert for suspected cases.
The French and Saudi Arabian cases were tied to an outbreak at a healthcare facility.
There have been 34 confirmed cases globally since September, including 20 deaths, with most cases occurring in the Middle East. (http://j.mp/10lzLox )

The World Health Organisation has said it is likely that a deadly new strain of a virus that has killed at least 20 people can be passed by close personal contact.
In France a second man is in intensive care with the disease after sharing a hospital room with the country's first victim.
The BBC's Rebecca Morelle said: "They really don't know at the moment how this virus is passing... They need to find these things out quite quickly."

Evidence grows for human to human transmission of deadly new coronavirus
Evidence grows for human to human transmission of deadly new coronavirus
Published on May 12, 2013
http://www.euronews.com/ The World Health Organisation (WHO) has confirmed that the potentially fatal coronavirus could be transmitted from person to person. WHO Assistant Director-General, Keiji Fukuda speaking to reporters during a trip to Saudi Arabia where the majority of cases are found, noted that the clusters of illnesses "increasingly supports the hypothesis" of close contact human transmission.
The news comes as a second case is reported in France. The new infection was discovered in a patient who had shared a room at a hospital in Valenciennes with the first confirmed sufferer. The two were said to be in close and prolonged contact.
The SARS-like virus, produces symptoms of pneumonia and can lead to kidney failure. Experts are looking at whether it is transmitted via contact or whether it is airborne.
Professor Benoit Guéry at the Lille Hospital Infection Unit said that there were, "Several incidences where a clear human to human transmission was possible." Though he played down the risk adding that , "As soon as we are capable of dealing with patients in the appropriate manner, the virus poses a very low risk (of transmission)."
Though the virus poses a low transmission risk at present, the chances of survival are slim. Medical experts report that once contracted the new coronavirus is more aggressive than SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) which killed around 800 people in 2003.
Two more carriers have died in Saudi Arabia where the virus was first discovered, putting the death toll to 18 with 34 cases worldwide.
With a survival rate of less than 50%, authorities are taking the threat seriously. French travelers to the Gulf are being advised to wash their hands regularly and avoid contact with animals. Anyone returning from the region with flu-like symptoms has been asked to report it immediately.

Coronavirus, the new SARS-like illness that's worrying world health authorities

Related to the common cold, the new coronavirus first detected in the Middle East could be spreading from human to human.
A third suspected case of the potentially fatal coronavirus (nCoV) has been detected in France. It follows the hospitalisation of a 65-year-old who is the first confirmed case of the respiratory illness in France. He remains in a stable but critical condition.
A nurse in a hospital in Douai where the patient was first referred has been placed under watch since Thursday night. A doctor and another patient remain in isolation as tests are carried out. If they return positive results, it could mean that person to person transmission is occurring.
France is the third European country to be hit by the virus which appears to originate in the Middle East. The Frenchman (whose name has not been released) had returned from Dubai late April and was admitted to hospital on his return with digestive problems.
In the UK three members of the same family were infected after a relative returned from Pakistan and the Middle East. As with the bird flu, family members may be more susceptible to contagion than other members of the public. Germany has also been hit with two cases. Both had travelled in the Arabian peninsula, one died and one recovered.
A single hospital, Al-Moosa in the town of Hofuf, Saudi Arabia has reported 23 cases, suggesting it could be spreading through hospitals. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has travelled to Saudi Arabia to investigate how the virus is being transmitted. They are worried about the clusters of cases being a potential for a pandemic. The Saudi Health Ministry suggested that the cluster observed in the single hospital suggested nosocomial transmission. Patients may have had increased susceptibility to infection or severe disease because of their multiple illnesses. However, two family members of patients have contracted the virus suggesting it is being transmitted amongst the community.
The virus attacks the respiratory system causing pneumonia and potentially kidney failure. The WHO has advised all countries to test patients with unexplained pneumonia. World Health Organisation alert web page latest update
There have been 33 cases reported since September 2012, with 18 of them dying. The 50 per cent death rate indicates the coronavirus is more aggressive than SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) which killed some 800 people in 2003, which had a death rate of 11 per cent. The WHO have released guidelines for prevention and control of the virus
The source of the virus is unknown, though the most popular theory is that it is related to a virus strain found in bats. The SARS virus which originated in China proved that intermediate animal hosts may sometimes play an important role in transmission to humans and that direct exposure to animals is not needed for infection. Identifying the source will require the cooperation of veterinary services, food safety authorities, environmental health agencies as well as public health authorities.

An antibiotic-resistant strain of gonorrhea—now considered a superbug—has some analysts saying that the bacteria's effects could match those of AIDS.
"This might be a lot worse than AIDS in the short run because the bacteria is more aggressive and will affect more people quickly," said Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine
Getting gonorrhea from this strain might put someone into septic shock and death in a matter of days," Christianson said. "This is very dangerous."
According to this breaking story from Democratic Underground, an antibiotic resistant 'Gonorrhea superbug' worse than AIDS has health officials extremely worried. According to the story, it can put a person into septic shock and kill its' victims within days. An antibiotic-resistant strain of gonorrhea—now considered a superbug—
This gonorrhea strain, HO41, was discovered in Japan two years ago in a 31-year-old female sex worker who had been screened in 2009. The bacteria has since been found in Hawaii, California and Norway.
