Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) - Bahrain
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 10 April 2016, the National IHR Focal Point of Bahrain notified WHO
of a fatal case of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus
(MERS-CoV). This is the first case reported in Bahrain.

A 61-year-old, Saudi male was admitted on 29 March [2016] to a health
care facility in Bahrain for an unrelated medical condition. He was
screened for MERS-CoV, a routine procedure for those coming from Saudi
Arabia, and tested negative for the infection. On 4 April [2016], and
while hospitalized, he developed symptoms. On 9 April [2016], the
patient tested positive for MERS-CoV. The patient had comorbidities.
He owned a dromedary barn in Saudi Arabia and had a history of
frequent contact with them and consumption of their raw milk. He had
no history of exposure to the other known risk factors in the 14 days
prior to the onset of symptoms. On 12 April [2016], he was transferred
to a hospital in Dammam city, Saudi Arabia but passed away on the same
day.

The National IHR Focal Point for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been
notified. Contact tracing of household and healthcare contacts is
ongoing for this case. The Ministry of Agriculture was notified and
investigation of dromedaries is also ongoing.
