WHAT'S MPOX (MONKEYPOX)

Key facts
Mpox (monkeypox) is a viral illness caused by the monkeypox virus, a species of the genus Orthopoxvirus. Two different clades exist: clade I and clade II
Common symptoms of mpox are a skin rash or mucosal lesions which can last 2–4 weeks accompanied by fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, low energy, and swollen lymph nodes.
Mpox can be transmitted to humans through physical contact with someone who is infectious, with contaminated materials, or with infected animals.
Laboratory confirmation of mpox is done by testing skin lesion material by PCR.
Mpox is treated with supportive care. Vaccines and therapeutics developed for smallpox and approved for use in some countries can be used for mpox in some circumstances.
In 2022–2023 a global outbreak of mpox was caused by a strain known as clade IIb.
Mpox can be prevented by avoiding physical contact with someone who has mpox. Vaccination can help prevent infection for people at risk.

The increasing spread of pox (previously called monkeypox) is making headlines again 🚨

On August 14, the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency due to a surge in pox cases and the emergence of a new virus strain. This follows a 2022 outbreak that saw nearly 100,000 cases and 208 deaths across 116 countries.

While most people recover within 2-4 weeks, the alarming rise in cases is raising global concerns and increasing calls for widespread vaccination.
