Monkeypox

Monkeypox is an infectious disease caused by the monkeypox virus that can occur in certain animals, including humans.

Symptoms begin with fever, headache, muscle pains, swollen lymph nodes, and feeling tired.

This is followed by a rash that forms blisters and crusts over. 

The time from exposure to onset of symptoms is around 10 days.

The duration of symptoms is typically two to four weeks.

Cases of the smallpox-related disease haven’t previously been seen among people with no links to central and West Africa. But in the past week, Britain, Spain, Portugal, Italy, U.S., Sweden and Canada all reported infections, mostly in young men who hadn’t previously traveled to Africa.

France, Germany, Belgium and Australia confirmed their first cases of monkeypox on Friday.

One of the theories British health officials are exploring is whether the disease is being sexually transmitted. Health officials have asked doctors and nurses to be on alert for potential cases, but said the risk to the general population is low.

Outbreaks in Nigeria, which reports about 3,000 monkeypox cases a year, are usually in rural areas, where people have close contact with infected rats and squirrels, according to Tomori. He said the disease is not spread very easily and that many cases are likely missed.
