This virus is transmitted from primates to humans and produces a disease similar to smallpox, but milder and with a better prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the virus was discovered in 1958 in research primates, its natural hosts are rodents and other small mammals. The first human outbreak was reported in 1970. The virus is endemic in West and Central Africa where sporadic self-limiting outbreaks occur. Currently, an outbreak <strong>affecting around 300 people<\/strong> has been detected in Europe, North America, North Africa, the Middle East and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transmission from primates to humans <strong>occurs through bites, scratches, or through materials such as clothing or bedding contaminated<\/strong> by material from primate injuries. Between humans it is transmitted through respiratory droplets and by contact with the lesions of the infected person. However, the current outbreak has seen frequent transmission of the virus in men who have sex with men but the virus has not been detected in semen. For this reason, it is believed that it is transmitted in interpersonal relationships through genital, perianal and around the mouth ulcers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"mt-5 mb-4 wp-block-heading\"><strong>Treatment and prognosis of monkeypox<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a case of monkeypox infection is detected, it is essential to isolate it for at least 4 weeks (from the onset of symptoms) to prevent the spread of the infection. It should be noted that there is a potential risk of transmission from humans to animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms usually appear 1 to 2 weeks after infection. Symptoms include fever, chills, and swollen lymph nodes. A few days later, lesions appear on the skin, that go through various phases, from blisters to the development of scabs that last 1 or 2 days. When the scabs fall off, healthy skin appears underneath and <strong>this process lasts 2 to 4 weeks<\/strong>. The disease has a good prognosis, with mortality of 1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are two vaccines against human smallpox<\/strong> that protect against monkeypox, even when administered in the first 4 days of illness. There is also an antiviral drug (Tecovirimat) that decreases virus levels and shortens the duration of the illness and is well tolerated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New studies shed light on monkeypox and its impact on the population.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3765,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[827,1458,621],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diseases","category-enfermedades-en","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.7 (Yoast SEO v23.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What you need to know about monkeypox - Cl\u00ednica FEHV<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We analyze the latest news about the monkeypox as well as its treatment and prognosis.
