What is monkey pox?
Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus infection. The clinical manifestations are mainly fever, rash, and lymph node enlargement, which is usually a self-limiting disease, but some patients may experience complications, including secondary bacterial infections and encephalitis at the lesions. What are the symptoms of
infection with monkeypox virus?
Symptoms include fever, severe headache, muscle pain and lymph node enlargement within a few days . About 1 to 3 days after fever, ulcers will appear in the mouth and rashes will appear in other parts of the body. symptoms usually last 14 to 21 days, and patients usually recover on their own . How long is the incubation period of monkey pox?
5-21 days, mostly 6-13 days. How does the monkeypox virus spread?
Monkeypox virus mainly invades the human body through the mucosa and broken skin. It can be infected by contacting the infected animals or respiratory secretions, lesion exudates, blood, other body fluids, or being bitten or scratched by infected animals.
People are mainly transmitted through close contact, and can also be transmitted through droplets during long-term close contact. When exposed to items contaminated by viruses, they may also be infected.
The first case of monkeypox was found in the country this time. What should the public pay attention to?
At present, the first case in China was found during the quarantine period, without social activity trajectory and the risk of epidemic transmission is low.
Since monkeypox mainly poses a certain risk of infection in its contacts, residents do not need to be overly nervous, and maintain good hygiene habits .
I just returned to China recently/is about to go abroad. What should I pay attention to?
1. Returning people and people about to return
At present, the isolation control time for incoming people in my country is "7 days of centralized isolation medical observation + 3 days of home health monitoring". Since the incubation period of monkey pox is 5-21 days, returning people need to monitor their own health within 21 days of entry.
If you have had a history of contact and exposure to suspicious animals, personnel or monkeypox cases abroad, you should actively contact the local medical and disease control agencies for consultation and reporting; if
has symptoms such as fever and rash, you should report to medical staff or go to a regular hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible, and actively inform the doctor of the overseas travel history to assist in diagnosis and treatment. In addition to paying attention to the above matters, those who are about to return to China must cooperate with the customs to report their entry health.
2. People traveling or living in countries where the epidemic is
need to pay attention to the monkeypox epidemic information in their country. Avoid contact with rodents and primates (including the blood and flesh of animals) and must be thoroughly cooked before consumption.
If you have to contact monkeypox patients, you should avoid close contact with your body, avoid having sex with suspected infected people, avoid living supplies (such as bedding, clothing, etc.), and take personal protection when taking care of or visiting patients (such as wearing disposable latex gloves, medical protective masks, disposable isolation clothing, etc.). Pay attention to hand hygiene and wash your hands with soap, hand sanitizer, etc. in time under running water.
3. In the near future, those who plan to go abroad need to pay close attention to the monkeypox epidemic in the destination country. Understand the relevant knowledge on monkeypox prevention and treatment as early as possible, such as avoiding contact with rodents and monkeypox patients, avoiding sharing items with patients, and avoiding sexual intercourse with suspected infected persons. Do a good job of personal hand hygiene and seek medical treatment in time if symptoms such as rashes occur due to unknown reasons.
