Viral Shedding and Antibody Response in 37 Patients With Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Infection	2016-02-15		.txt	text/plain	4046	223	52	title: Viral Shedding and Antibody Response in 37 Patients With Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Infection The Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus causes isolated cases and outbreaks of severe respiratory disease. We studied 37 adult patients infected with MERS coronavirus for viral load in the lower and upper respiratory tracts (LRT and URT, respectively), blood, stool, and urine. Quantitative data, such as viral loads and antibody titers, could enable comparisons with related diseases, in particular, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), for which studies of natural history were conducted in the aftermath of the 2002-2003 epidemic [7] . DISCUSSION We studied quantitative viral excretion and serum antibody kinetics of a substantial group of hospitalized patients infected with MERS-CoV. Detection of SARS coronavirus in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome by conventional and real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR assays	./cache/cord-353342-2n6kqyeo.txt	./txt/cord-353342-2n6kqyeo.txt
