#mpox #monkeypoxalert #monkeypoxcases #monkeypoxnews

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global public health emergency due to the outbreak of a new strain of the mpox virus in Africa. This virus, previously known as monkeypox, spreads through close contact and causes flu-like symptoms, lesions on the body, and can be fatal ¹ ² ³.

Mpox is caused by the monkeypox virus, which has two distinct strains, Clade I and Clade II. The current outbreak is primarily caused by Clade I, specifically the Clade Ib strain, which has been spreading rapidly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and neighboring countries ¹ ³.

Symptoms of Mpox:

- Flu-like symptoms: fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, and low energy
- Lesions on the body: rash, blisters, or sores on the face, palms, soles, groin, genital, and anal regions
- Respiratory issues: difficulty swallowing, pneumonia, and other breathing problems ² ³

Transmission:

Mpox spreads through:

- Close contact: skin-to-skin, mouth-to-mouth, or mouth-to-skin contact with an infected person
- Contaminated objects: touching objects or surfaces that have come into contact with the virus
- Animal-to-human transmission: through bites or scratches from infected animals ² ³

The DRC has been severely affected, with over 15,600 cases and 537 deaths reported. The WHO has also detected cases in at least 13 African countries, including Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda ¹.

Prevention and Treatment:

The WHO recommends vaccination, particularly for high-risk individuals, and supportive care for symptoms. Two vaccines, MVA-BN and LC16, are approved for use against mpox ² ³.

It's essential to take precautions to prevent the spread of mpox, especially for those in high-risk groups. If you're concerned about mpox or have symptoms, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
