US & Dutch Confusion Linked to Withheld MERS Sequences

Recombinomics Commentary 17:00
May 30, 2014

Exchange of information between the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Dutch experts did not reveal any clues about mutual exposure of the Dutch and US cases. The current, limited scientific information does not support any conclusion on the meaning of this genetic resemblance,

The above comments from the recent paper on the two Dutch pilgrims who were MERS confirmed, describes efforts between investigators in The Netherlands and United States to explain the close relationship between sequences from the two Dutch pilgrims (70M and 73F) and the Riyadh health care worker (HCW) who was confirmed in Munster, Indiana, with onward transmission to a colleague in Cook County, Illinois (likely Chicago) based on positive serological data on two assays (ELISA and IFA) which have been defined by the CDC as lab confirmation of a prior MERS infection (CDC retraction not withstanding). 

Like the cluster in the United States, the cluster in the Netherlands appears to have been acquired via casual contact (45 minutes in the waiting room of a Medina hospital).

The sequence identity between the three PCR confirmed cases originating in Riyadh (Indiana/USA-1_Saudi Arabia_2014) and Medina raises concerns that a novel sub-clade is responsible for the explosion of MERS cases in these two cities.  However, US and Dutch investigators were unable to draw conclusions from the match because sequences from these two cities have been withheld.

Although the Drostin lab, which appears to have exclusive access to samples from the cases in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), has indicated sequence data from areas outside of Jeddah and Mecca have been transmitted to WHO, the failure to make these sequences public has led to comments such as those cited above from the recent paper on the Netherlands cluster.

The presence of a novel sub-clade in Medina could have significant impact on pilgrims traveling to Mecca and Medina while performing Umrah, which will increase significantly during Ramadan, which begins in less than a month.

The Droston lab has released six nearly complete sequences from a sub-clade which is circulating in Jeddah and Mecca ((C7149 and C7770 from hospital A collected on April 3 and 7, respectively, as well as C7569 from hospital B collected on April 5, followed by Jeddah sequences C8826 and C9055 collected on April 12 and April 14 from hospital A and C, respectively, as well as Mecca (C9355) collected on April 15).  This sub-clade was also found in a Jeddah HCW who traveled to Orlando, Florida (Florida/USA-2_Saudi Arabia_2014), as well as a Jeddah resident (69M) who developed symptoms after visiting his wife in a Jeddah hospital who was diagnosed with Dengue Fever.  When he developed symptoms, he was diagnosed with Typhoid Fever, but after travel to Athens, Greece he was diagnosed with MERS and sequencing of the S and N genes revealed a close similarity with the Jeddah sub-clade.

The presence of this sub-clade in Mecca raises additional Umrah/Ramadan concerns since most pilgrims who fly to KSA pass through Jeddah, Mecca, and Medina.  The hospital linked to the Jeddah export to Orlando, Florida has not been disclosed.  However, the export to Greece appears to have originated from the Al-Jedaani Hospitals, which has recently been cited in media reports as a hospital that has seen a dramatic drop in ER visits due to fears of nosocomial transmission.  It is unlikely that this hospital is hospital B or C, linked to Droston sequences (and hospital A is almost certainly King Fahd, which was force to temporarily close its ER in April due to the number of MERS cases, which included HCWs), because the direct has claimed there are no MERS infected patients or HCWs in his hospital system. 

Thus, although the MERS explosion in Jeddah has been attributed to poor infection control, the presence of the same sub-clade in four Jeddah hospitals as well as a Mecca hospital suggests this sub-clade is widespread and not limited to a limited number of nosocomial outbreaks.

The widespread presence of the Jeddah/Mecca sub-clade in Jeddah and possibly Mecca, as well as the detection of the Medina/Riyadh sub-clade in exports to the Netherlands and United States, which are associated with transmission via casual contact, the withholding of the Medina and Riyadh sequences continues to increase pandemic concerns.

In MERS scare, hospitals lose business to pharmacies

• 
  SAFER? Jeddah residents would rather go to a pharmacy than see a doctor in a hospital for fear of contracting the dreaded coronavirus. (AN photo)
  

Many residents here are avoiding hospitals because they fear contracting the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
Waleed Al-Suhail, director general of Al-Jedaani Hospital in the Safa neighborhood, admitted that there has been a 70 percent drop in patients and visitors since the latest MERS outbreak.
However, Al-Suhail rejected rumors circulating on social networking sites and in local newspapers that some patients and staff of the hospital have been infected with the virus.
He confirmed that many Jeddah residents prefer these days to go to pharmacies because there are no crowds. Doctors have indicated that people are more likely to get the virus in crowded places.
Ahmad Abbas, a pharmacist, told Arab News that many more people have been coming to his pharmacy recently for medicines because they are afraid of going to hospitals.
“The virus is airborne and spreads through breathing in crowded places. But people make the mistake of going to pharmacies to buy their medicines. Some medicines can affect individuals negatively," he said.
A customer at a pharmacy here, Ahmad Abdul Azim, said people are afraid to go to hospitals, especially emergency rooms. “People tend to avoid crowded places such as hospitals because they don’t want to get the virus,” he said.

Abdulrahman Al-Adwani, a customer, said people are risking their lives by going to pharmacies without a prescription from a doctor. http://www.arabnews.com/news/578891

8 ebola suspects freed by relatives in Sierra Leone

May 27, 2014 1:43pm

FREETOWN, May 27 (Xinhua) -- Some eight ebola suspects admitted at the isolation ward of the Koindu Community Health Center in the Kailahun district, east of Sierra Leone, are now at large after their relatives stormed the facility on Monday night and set them free, Health Minister Miatta Kargbo told journalists Tuesday.

"We had wanted to transfer them to the regional isolation center at the Kenema Government Hospital for further observation," she said, "but their relatives refused."

"We do not know their whereabouts as of now but an intensive search is being made to trace them to prevent them coming in contact with people. We suspect that they might have been taken across the border," she added.

Relatives of an Ebola patient in Sierra Leone took her home from a community health centre despite protests from medical staff, risking spreading the deadly and highly infectious disease, a senior health official said on Tuesday.
The family said they did not trust the medical system and feared she would die if a transfer to the general hospital in the town of Kenema went ahead, Amara Jambai, the health ministry's director of disease prevention and control, said.
Lawmakers and community leaders would try to talk to family members and persuade them to return her to hospital, he said.

Japanese Govt set to prepare for possible MERS outbreak

11:59 pm, May 26, 2014

The Yomiuri Shimbun Alarmed at the soaring number of people infected with a new strain of coronavirus mainly in Middle Eastern countries, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry will soon make arrangements for a potential domestic outbreak of the disease, which could result in such illnesses as severe pneumonia, The Yomiuri Shimbun has learned.
The new virus strain is known as the MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) coronavirus. The number of infections has been surging in the Middle East since April, and cases have recently been confirmed in the United States among people who have returned there from Middle Eastern countries, ministry officials said.
The number of people with the disease, which stood at 206 worldwide during the period from spring 2012 to the end of March this year, more than doubled to 429 in the roughly two months from April to May 23, according to the World Health Organization. About 30 percent of the infections have resulted in fatalities, the WHO said.
The origin of the virus was unknown until recently. However, many experts now believe that it is likely to have come from camels and that the disease can be contracted from touching camels or drinking raw camel milk. There have also been many reports of hospital-acquired infections.
One theory suggests that the current rise in the coronavirus infection may be due to a lack of preventive measures against the disease and the fact that it is now breeding season for camels.
The disease tends to develop within two weeks after infection, causing patients to experience a high fever, cough, severe pneumonia and other symptoms, ministry officials said.
The ministry has issued written instructions to local governments and relevant organizations to conduct medical checkups this month to detect the virus and report information on the results to the ministry. The checkups pertain to people who visit medical institutions after returning from the Middle East and are found to have:

—A high fever of 38 C or higher and severe respiratory symptoms; or
—Visited a medical institution while staying in the Mideast or had contact with camels or drank raw camel milk there, even if their symptoms are mild.
The ministry also plans to study which medical institutions should care for patients if the MERS coronavirus-caused illness is detected domestically, along with what treatment arrangements should be made to deal with the situation, the officials said.
The virus is currently considered unlikely to cause human-to-human infection if there is no intensive contact with an infected patient, they said. http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0001308685
