沙特新类似非典病毒已致死5人，又发现3人新感染

最新统计世界范围感染人数为24人，致死16人，致死比率高达2/3

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi Arabia's Health Ministry has confirmed three more cases of a new respiratory virus related to SARS, bringing to 10 the number of cases it reported this week, including five deadly ones.

The ministry said Friday the three cases were part of an ongoing investigation. It said the two men and one woman were aged between 33 and 53. Their symptoms first appeared over the past week.

The germ is from a family of viruses that cause the common cold, as well as SARS — the severe acute respiratory syndrome that killed some 800 people, mostly in Asia, in a 2003 epidemic.

Since September 2012, WHO has been informed of 24 confirmed cases. Sixteen of the patients died. The new virus was first identified last year in the Middle East.

　　【环球网报道 记者 聂鲁彬】据英国路透社5月2日报道，沙特阿拉伯官员日前表示，该国近日出现了一种与非典(SARS)属同一科的新型病毒，该病毒已致5人死亡，另有两人处于重症监护中。

　　据悉，这种名为NCoV的冠状病毒与引起普通感冒的病毒属同一科，而该科中的一种已知的致命性病毒则是2003年在亚洲爆发的非典病毒。虽然新发现的病毒与非典有所不同，但两者具有相似性，直到该病毒在中东出现以后，该病毒才被证实可以被人类感染。

　　目前，感染NCoV确诊的病例已出现在沙特、约旦与英国。

　　世界卫生组织在今年3月26日发布的报告中称，目前全球范围内已知的感染NCoV的确诊病例数达到17例，其中11人死亡。
