| Novel human coronavirus is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans. A previously unknown coronavirus was isolated from the sputum of a 60-year-old man who presented with acute pneumonia and subsequent renal failure with a fatal outcome in Saudi Arabia. The virus replicated readily in cell culture, producing cytopathic effects of rounding, detachment, and syncytium formation. The virus represents a novel betacoronavirus species. The closest known relatives are bat coronaviruses HKU4 and HKU5. Here, the clinical data, virus isolation, and molecular identification are presented. <ref name="pmid23075143">{{cite journal |author=Zaki AM, van Boheemen S, Bestebroer TM, Osterhaus AD, Fouchier RA |title=Isolation of a novel coronavirus from a man with pneumonia in Saudi Arabia |journal=[[The New England Journal of Medicine]] |volume=367 |issue=19 |pages=1814–20 |year=2012 |month=November |pmid=23075143 |doi=10.1056/NEJMoa1211721 |url=http://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJMoa1211721?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dpubmed |accessdate=2012-12-29}}</ref> | | ==[[Novel human coronavirus infection overview|Overview]]== |

| Following the high-profile publicity of SARS outbreaks, there has been a renewed interest in coronaviruses in the field of [[virology]]. For many years, scientists knew only about the existence of two human coronaviruses (HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43). The discovery of SARS-CoV added another human coronavirus to the list. By the end of 2004, three independent research labs reported the discovery of a fourth human coronavirus. It has been named NL63, NL or the New Haven coronavirus by the different research groups.<ref>{{cite journal | author=van der Hoek L, Pyrc K, Jebbink MF, ''et al.'' | title=Identification of a new human coronavirus | doi= 10.1038/nm1024 | journal=Nat Med | year=2004 | volume=10 | issue=4 | pages=368–73 }}</ref> The naming of this fourth coronavirus is still a controversial issue, because the three labs are still battling over who actually discovered the virus first and hence earns the right to name the virus. Early in 2005, a research team at the University of Hong Kong reported finding a fifth human coronavirus in two [[pneumonia]] patients, and subsequently named it [[HKU1]].

| ===Transmission===
| |
| * The cases occurring in the same family raises the possibility of limited human-to-human transmission. Alternatively, it is possible that the infected family members were exposed to the same source of infection, for example, in a household or workplace.
| |
| * There is currently no direct evidence that the human cases were exposed through direct contact with animals.

| WHO recognizes that the emergence of a new coronavirus capable of causing severe disease raises concerns because of experience with SARS. Although this novel coronavirus is distantly related to the SARS CoV, they are different. Based on current information, it does not appear to transmit easily between people, unlike the SARS virus.

| As of November 30, 2012, nine laboratory confirmed cases have been reported to WHO - five from Saudi Arabia, two from Qatar, and two from Jordan. The onset of illness was between April - November 2012. Among the nine cases, five were fatal. Based on available information, the clinical picture consists of febrile illness and pneumonia.<ref name="urlCDC - Coronavirus - Case Definitions and Guidance Novel Coronavirus">{{cite web |url=http://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/ncv/case-def.html#guidance |title=CDC - Coronavirus - Case Definitions and Guidance Novel Coronavirus |format= |work= |accessdate=2012-12-28}}</ref>

| Five cases were associated with two clusters. The first cluster of two cases, both fatal, occurred near Amman, Jordan, in April 2012. Stored samples from these two cases tested positive retrospectively for the novel coronavirus. This cluster was temporally associated with cases of illness among workers in a hospital. A second cluster occurred in October, 2012, in Saudi Arabia. Of the four individuals in the household, three were laboratory confirmed cases, two of them died.

| * There are no reports of anyone in United States getting infected and sick with the novel coronavirus. Risk of getting infected with this virus is estimated to be low.
| |
| * WHO and CDC have not issued any travel alerts for countries in the Arabian Peninsula or neighboring countries. Your risk of getting infected with the novel coronavirus while in these countries is estimated to be low.

| ===History and Symptoms===
| |
| In confirmed cases of illness in humans, common symptoms have been acute, serious respiratory illness with fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties. Based on current clinical experience, the infection generally presents as pneumonia. It has caused kidney failure and death in some cases. It is important to note that the current understanding of the illness caused by this infection is based on a limited number of cases and may change as more information becomes available.
