This study presents a comprehensive analysis of 70 patients diagnosed with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) at a single tertiary center in Saudi Arabia, focusing on clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and associated risk factors. Key findings reveal a high mortality rate (60%), with severe cases often requiring intensive care and ventilatory support.
