This retrospective observational study focused on the clinical characteristics of confirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection in the Republic of Korea. All patients with laboratory-confirmed MERS-CoV infection were identified during the outbreak in the Republic of Korea, during which confirmatory tests were performed only for suspected cases. We described the clinical characteristics of all 186 patients with confirmed MERS-CoV infection during the outbreak in the Republic of Korea (Table 1) . The proportions of patients with underlying medical conditions such as diabetes (18.8%), chronic lung disease (10.2%), or chronic kidney disease (4.8%) were smaller in this study, which might explain why cases with complicating respiratory or renal failure were relatively uncommon in the outbreak in the Republic of Korea, compared to those reported in Saudi Arabia.	./cache/cord-337066-pztrwvib.txt	./txt/cord-337066-pztrwvib.txt
