Have you heard about MERS? It’s a relatively new respiratory illness, first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. The CDC confirmed the first U.S. case in a healthcare worker who traveled from Saudi Arabia through London and Chicago to Indiana. That traveler is hospitalized and isolated; his condition is improving. There are no additional confirmed US cases at this time. So far, all MERS cases have been linked to 6 countries in or near the Arabian Peninsula. This first US importation represents a very low risk to the general public.
