This rate is better than that noted in patients with SARS: only a third of laboratoryconfi rmed cases yielded virus in upper-respiratory-tract samples. 5 The values reported by Assiri and colleagues also show that viral loads in the upper respiratory tract are higher than in patients with MERS who were treated overseas and, thus, who were investigated later in the disease course.
