This is 4 more cases with 2 announced as dead. Basic details missing.

There seems to be a trend of announcing serious cases after they die.

The icon on the Saudi MoH site is incorrect. It should read "96" instead of "92". We have counted 97 cases due to our interpretation of disease origin. Last week our case list closely matched the Saudi MoH list because our case #87 was numbered as Saudi case #86 by Dr. Memish in his ProMed submittal of August 29 here

Since then the Saudi MoH has announced 10 more cases so their icon should read "96".

Here are the 10 cases announced since then:

88) #109 - Age 26, contact of one, or more, of cases #106,#107,#108, hospitalized and recovered - Batin, Eastern province, Saudi Arabia

89) #110 - Age 19, contact of previous case, hospitalized and recovered - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

90) #112 - Age 30, health care worker, hospitalized in ICU in Riyadh - Saudi Arabia

91) #113 - Age 47, multiple comorbidities, hospitalized in intensive care - Al Batin, Saudi Arabia

92) #114 - Age 41, health care worker, Riyadh - Saudi Arabia Death

93) #115 - Age 79, multiple comorbidities, contact of a previous case - Al Batin, Saudi Arabia Death

Re: MERS-CoV, Saudi Arabia: 4 new confirmed cases, including 2 new deaths (MoH, September 7 2013): 92 cases, 46 deaths so far (real number of cases announced by Saudi MoH is 96)

Could it be that the Saudis are losing count?

I think that the mismatch is due to the Batin cluster asymptomatic cases: these contacts were not initially accounted, leaving the count standing at 84/86 for many days. These cases did not match case-definition and the laboratory results likely have not been validated from an external reference centre. It is unclear whether or when these cases will be notified to the WHO and whether the agency will recognize them as confirmed.

Thanks Giuseppe. It is weird that the Saudi MoH announces these cases as confirmed and then does not add them to their total.
