自2015年5月20日韩国报告首例输入性中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）感染病例以来，国内已有186例MERS-CoV实验室确诊病例，其中36例死亡。97%（181/186）的病例接触过卫生保健设施。我们正在报告2015年韩国爆发mers时，在医院急诊室（ER）将mers冠状病毒传播给81人的超级传播事件。指示病例为一名35岁男子，在急诊室停留58小时后出现剧烈咳嗽。与严重急性呼吸综合征暴发一样，超级传播事件可在医疗机构中引起中东呼吸综合征的大规模暴发，造成严重后果。所有卫生保健机构应制定和实施感染预防和控制措施，以及早期发现和隔离疑似中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒病例的分类政策和程序。
Since the first imported case of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection was reported on May 20, 2015 in Korea, there have been 186 laboratory-confirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection with 36 fatalities. Ninety-seven percent (181/186) of the cases had exposure to the health care facilities. We are reporting a superspreading event that transmitted MERS-CoV to 81 persons at a hospital emergency room (ER) during the Korean outbreak in 2015. The index case was a 35-yr-old man who had vigorous coughing while staying at the ER for 58 hr. As in severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreaks, superspreading events can cause a large outbreak of MERS in healthcare facilities with severe consequences. All healthcare facilities should establish and implement infection prevention and control measure as well as triage policies and procedures for early detection and isolation of suspected MERS-CoV cases.
