自2012年6月以来，已在9个国家发现133例中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)病例。对2013年的两个时间段进行了比较，以确定流行病学的变化。病例死亡风险(CFR)为45%，并且正在下降。男性的CFR较高(52%)，在病例中比例过高。已知的14例初发病例中有13例死亡。在后一个时期，性别比更加平衡。26%的病例存在院内传播。
Since June 2012, 133 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) cases have been identified in nine countries. Two time periods in 2013 were compared to identify changes in the epidemiology. The case-fatality risk (CFR) is 45% and is decreasing. Men have a higher CFR (52%) and are over-represented among cases. Thirteen out of 14 known primary cases died. The sex-ratio is more balanced in the latter period. Nosocomial transmission was implied in 26% of the cases.
