Viral shedding lasted 31 and 19 days from symptom onset in two patients with east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) pneumonia, respectively. Environmental real-time RT-PCR was weakly positive for bed guardrail and monitors. Even after cleaning the monitors with 70% alcohol-based disinfectant, RT-PCR was still weakly positive, and converted to negative only after wiping with diluted sodium chlorite. Further studies are required to clarify the appropriate methods to clean environments during and after treatment of patients with MERS-CoV infection.
中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)肺炎的两名患者病毒排出分别从症状出现起持续了31天和19天。床护栏和监护仪的环境实时逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)呈弱阳性。即使使用70%酒精基消毒剂清洁监护仪后,RT-PCR仍呈弱阳性,仅在用稀释的亚氯酸钠擦拭后才转为阴性。需要进一步研究以明确在MERS-CoV感染患者治疗期间及之后清洁环境的合适方法。
