What are the symptoms of monkeypox, and what are the symptoms of monkeypox?

MonkeypoxThe incubation period is generally 6-16 daysThe course of the disease can be divided into two stages: the invasive phase and the eruptive phase

1. Invasion period:Lasts 0-5 days: Characterized by fever, severe headache, lymphadenopathy, swollen lymph nodes, back pain, myalgia, and extreme weakness.

2. **Eruption period:The rash can occur all over the body, with 95% of cases occurring on the face and 75% on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, almost simultaneously on the body parts. Lasting about 10 days, the rash progresses from maculopapular to vesicles, pustules, and finally crusts.

Over a period of 3 weeks, the scab falls off and disappears. Systemic lesions vary from a few to several thousand, with 70% of cases affecting the oral mucosa, 30% of the cheeks, and 20% of the eyelids and corneas.

Some patients develop severe lymphadenopathy before the rash appears, and the presence of lymphadenopathy is helpful in the differential diagnosis of monkeypox, as neither smallpox nor varicella have lymphadenopathy.

Monkeypox symptoms usually last 14-21 days. The case fatality rate of the disease varies widely, with confirmed cases generally less than 10%. Most of the deaths were in young children.

Ways to prevent monkeypox

1. Prevent the spread of monkeypox through animals

Restricting or banning the movement of African small mammals and monkeys can be effective in slowing the spread of the virus outside of Africa. Captive animals should not be vaccinated against smallpox. Infected animals should be isolated from other animals and quarantined immediately.

Animals that may have been in contact with infected animals should be quarantined for 30 days and monitored for symptoms of monkeypox.

2. Reduce the risk of human infection

In the event of a monkeypox outbreak, the most important risk factor for monkeypox virus infection is close contact with other patients. In the absence of a specific effect** or vaccine, the only way to reduce human infection is to raise awareness of risk factors and educate people about the steps that may be needed to reduce exposure to the virus.

Monkeypox is a group of viruses that includes vaccinia virus, smallpox virus, etc. As a zoonotic disease, monkeypox is mainly transmitted by various animals, such as monkeys, rabbits, etc. It is because the monkeypox virus was first identified in green monkeys in Copenhagen that it was named monkeypox.

However, studies have shown that monkeypox can also be transmitted from person to person, and the route of transmission may be through droplets.

Monkeypox is a species of monkey that occurs in the rainforests of west-central Africa, but can also infect other animals, occasionally humans, and has a smallpox-like clinical presentation but mild disease. The disease is caused by the monkeypox virus. It belongs to a group of viruses that include the smallpox virus, the virus used in the smallpox vaccine, and the vaccinia virus.

It needs to be differentiated from smallpox and chickenpox. The virus can be transmitted from animals to humans through direct close contact, and can also be transmitted from person to person, mainly through blood and body fluids. However, monkeypox is far less contagious than the smallpox virus.

The monkeypox virus was first isolated (1958) from monkeys in a laboratory in Copenhagen, Denmark, and was then known as the Copenhagen monkeypox virus; Subsequently, other animals in Africa, such as squirrels, rats, mice, rabbits, porcupines and pangolins, were also found to be reservoirs for the virus. The monkeypox virus belongs to the same genus as the smallpox virus. Monkeypox virus infection in monkeys and humans is indistinguishable from smallpox in terms of clinical symptoms and histopathology.

Monkeypox virus and smallpox virus have common antigens, and there is strong serum cross-reactivity and cross-immunity between the two, so vaccinia vaccination can be used for prophylaxis when monkeypox is epidemic. The monkeypox virus is rectangular in shape, 200 nm in size to 250 nm, and can be cultured and grown in African green monkey kidney cells, causing cytopathy. Plaques can be produced in the monolayer culture of chicken embryo fibroblasts. in chicken embryos.

According to WHO, the symptoms of monkeypox virus infection are similar to smallpox, but the clinical severity is milder. The incubation period is usually 6 to 13 days and can be as long as 21 days. Initial symptoms include fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches, and severe fatigue, with swollen lymph nodes helping to distinguish monkeypox from smallpox.

After a few days, the fever develops into a large rash on the face and other parts of the body, and may lead to secondary infection, bronchopneumonia, sepsis, etc.

As far as I know, the main symptoms of monkeypox infected people are: high fever, headache, cough, body aches, and in severe cases, death.

If the human monkeypox virus is infected, the incubation period of the symptoms is about 2 weeks to 3 weeks, and the approximate average incubation period is 12 days, and then some symptoms will appear in the body, such as high fever, headache, back pain, general malaise, cough, swollen lymph nodes, and occasionally abdominal pain. After all, it is a serious disease, so bacterial infections, lung infections, breathing difficulties, and other complications can also occur, so these conditions can occur during the course of the disease. <>

Human-to-human transmission of the monkeypox virus is uncommon. Moreover, human-to-human transmission involves close contact between people with respiratory secretions, ** injuries or contaminated bodies, but respiratory droplet transmission is a mode of transmission that normally requires longer face-to-face time together. In addition, the monkeypox virus can be transmitted not only by droplets, but also from mother to child, the so-called "mother-to-child transmission", and can be transmitted sexually.

After humans are infected with monkeypox, the initial symptoms include fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches, back pain, etc., these symptoms will increase the development, and can even develop into a widespread rash on the face and body, which has reached a serious point, although some people can recover, and even most people will be in a few weeks, but there are also some people whose condition worsens, and even death. Monkeypox cases can be transmitted through close contact, and can even be transmitted from animals to humans, so it is important to be careful, although human-to-human transmission is not easily contagious, close contact with an infected person can also lead to monkeypox infection, so everyone should not take it lightly. <>

Monkeypox, a rare virus that can be transmitted from animals to humans, has recently detected its first cases in many countries, and the disease has also emerged in various countries. For rare orthopoxviruses, scientific awareness and prevention are very important. Only after understanding it will you know how to deal with it better.

In the case of human-to-human transmission, it is important to avoid close contact with monkeypox patients, keep a safe distance from monkeypox patients, and do not touch the food and materials they have used, so as to protect yourself and others.

The monkeypox virus has a very long incubation period in the body, taking about three weeks to detect. After the incubation period has passed, the patient will develop headaches and back pain. If you have a bacterial infection in your body, you will definitely get sepsis.

In the case of respiratory distress, the physical diseases will become more and more numerous. Everyone should go to the hospital when they are not feeling well** to prevent accidents in the body. When you find yourself in an extremely uncomfortable situation, be sure to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

Blood can be drawn to see if the throat is present in the body. <>

After being infected with many viruses, various small pimples will appear all over the body. Don't think it's a normal disease, it can be very dangerous after missing the ** period. Everyone must let themselves have a healthy body, and there must be no carelessness.

If a relative has the virus, they must wear a disposable mask and a disposable isolation gown after going in to visit. Protecting oneself is the protection of everyone, and knowing that a healthy body is the most important. <>

If you want to travel abroad, you must pay attention to many diseases abroad and avoid contact with people and animals with the monkeypox virus. Boys must be self-conscious and do not have sex with some infected people easily. Personal hygiene must be well protected, otherwise there will definitely be many unknown symptoms in your body, and you must understand all the relevant knowledge before you go.

If you want to eat animal blood and meat, you must cook it thoroughly. <>

In general, those who often have mouth ulcers should not be careless, mouth ulcers have been bad, it means that they have diseases in their body. You still have to go to the hospital to check the trace elements and see what you are missing in your body. Only by carrying out timely testing and timely ** can the symptoms of illness not become more and more serious.

Boys' lymphadenopathy should be taken seriously, and it is important to understand that the monkeypox virus can always be involved in the human body.

After being infected with monkeypox, the body is accompanied by fever, severe headache, back pain, myalgia, general malaise, and in some cases, rash.

After being infected with this disease, the body will have some obvious symptoms, first of all, the skin coat ** will appear rash-like changes, and in the follow-up process, there will be fever, sore limbs and other phenomena.

The body will become very itchy, and you will also feel that the itchy areas are very painful, and even slightly hot.

<> monkeypox virus is similar to the smallpox virus, which is also known as human pox, and the smallpox virus has been eradicated. Since the monkeypox virus is similar to the smallpox virus, it stands to reason that they cause similar symptoms. <>

Although the monkeypox virus and the smallpox virus are close relatives, the monkeypox virus is significantly weaker, and the symptoms and fatality rate caused by infection are milder than those caused by the smallpox virusIf you can't easily remove it, it will be disfigured。Generally speaking, these viruses are orthopoxviruses, which have small mutations, and after being infected with one of the viruses or vaccinated against one of the viruses, they can obtain lifelong immunity and immunity to other orthopoxviruses. However, after the world declared that the smallpox virus had been eradicated, countries gradually canceled smallpox virus vaccination, so the immunity of the younger generation to the monkeypox virus is declining.

When humans are first infected with the virus, they generally have no obvious symptoms, but after a period of infection, symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty breathing will occur, and in severe cases, sepsis will occur. In the later stage, there will be a rash all over the body, and the rash will go through several stages of development from macules, papules, blisters to pustules, and,This blister will scab over and leave a scar when it gets better！In other words, once infected with monkeypox, it may not endanger the life safety of the body, but if the sequelae left is disfigurement, it is difficult for many people to accept it, and life is worse than death.

For the monkeypox virus, don't be afraid, take personal protection, avoid being bitten or scratched by animals that may carry the virus, and limit direct contact with blood and undercooked meat that carries the virus. I don't believe monkeypox will become a world pandemic. Because the current level of medical care is much better than before.

We know how to prevent the monkeypox virus, how to **. Even if you are unfortunately infected, don't give up on yourself, at least you are still alive.
