Severe acute respiratory syndrome
A rare pulmonary disease induced by SARS-CoV coronavirus infection, with a reported incubation period varying from 2 to 7 days. Patients present flu-like symptoms, including fever, malaise, myalgia, headache, diarrhoea, and rigors. Dry, nonproductive, cough and dyspnea are frequently reported. Severe cases evolve rapidly, progressing to respiratory distress and failure, requiring intensive care. Mortality rate is 10%. The disease appeared in 2002 in southern China, subsequently spreading in 2003 to 26 countries. Reported human-to-human transmission occurred in Toronto (Canada), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, Chinese Taipei, Singapore, and Hanoi (Viet Nam). [from ORDO]
Encephalitis/encephalopathy, mild, with reversible myelin vacuolization
MMERV is an episodic acute reversible encephalopathy that occurs in children and is frequently associated with a trigger, such as a febrile illness. Affected individuals have impaired consciousness, delirious behavior, and/or seizures with lip smacking or eye deviation. These changes are associated with white matter lesions in the brain that often occur in the splenium of the corpus callosum, but may occur in surrounding areas. The acute phase of the disorder can be treated with steroids, and most patients make a full neurologic recovery between episodes with no sequelae (summary by Kurahashi et al., 2018). [from OMIM]
Middle East respiratory syndrome
A viral respiratory infection that is caused by the MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which most often manifests with moderate to severe respiratory symptoms, including productive cough and shortness of breath, which can progress to pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. [from NCI]
