What is the monkey pox?

The monkeypox virus, which is a member of the smallpox virus family, is what causes the rare condition known as monkeypox infection.

The first human case of monkey pox was reported in 1970 by some wild animals and rodents, and ever since then, small foci have been occasionally recorded.

 The disease's history: 

Monkey pox was first discovered in 1958 when two cases of a smallpox-like illness occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research, hence the name (monkey pox). A small number of African nations are home to the disease.

The illness is further divided into two types: the first, which is the least dangerous and has a mortality rate of just under 1%, is spread throughout West Africa, while the latter, which is spread throughout the Democratic Republic of the Congo, results in 10% of all cases of infection-related mortality.

Countries where it has spread: 

Outside of Africa, cases of monkeypox virus infection have been reported in people who were exposed to imported animals or people who had traveled internationally. These cases have been reported in continental Europe, the United States, and East Asia.

Infection spread mechanisms

The monkeypox virus is spread to humans through direct contact with the blood or mucous secretions of infected wild animals, such as monkeys and rodents. It is also rarely spread from person to person through breathing droplets, skin contact with blisters, or contact with contaminated objects or surfaces.

Infection and the virus's time of incubation:

The virus normally takes - days to incubate before becoming infectious, but the body can host the virus for longer than - days. The following are the symptoms:

• elevated temperature. 

• an outbreak of a rash.

• Headache.

• muscular discomfort

• back ache

• lymph nodes that are larger.

• being worn out.

On days 1-3, the disease starts to manifest in the body; the temperature rises, the rash appears on the face and spreads to the rest of the body, including the genitals, mucous membranes, conjunctiva, and palms of the hands and feet. The disease's most noticeable symptom is the presence of enlarged lymph nodes before the rash appears.

Treatment: 

Treatment options include the smallpox vaccine, antiviral medications, and immunoglobulin (VIG), although there is currently no known cure for monkeypox virus infection.

How to stop the virus from spreading?

Keep your distance from sick people..

When caring for patients, put on gloves and a muzzle.

Keep your distance from diseased animals.

With soap and water or a sterilizer, wash your hands.
