Since May this year, many non -streaming countries in the world have reported the case of monkey acne and have community communication. Recently, the National Health Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine organized the formulation of the "Monkey Acne Diagnosis and Treatment Guide (2022 Edition)". What is a monkey acne virus? What are the ways to spread? Understand

What is a monkey acne virus?

Monkey Virus (MPXV) is classified as a genus of acne virus in acne virus. It is one of the four genus acne virus to human pathogenic diseases. The other three are ceiling virus, acne seedlings, and acne virus. Monkey acne virus is divided into two branches: West African branch and Congo basin branch. The results of the virus sequencing of some of the non -popular countries are the branch of West Africa.

The main hosts of monkey acne virus are African rodents (including African squirrels, tree squirrels, Gangbia kangaroos, sleeping mouse, etc.).

Monkey acne virus is resistant to dryness and low temperature, and can survive for several months on soil, scalp and clothing. It is sensitive to heat, heating to 56 ° C for 30 minutes or 60 ° C for 10 minutes. Both ultraviolet and general disinfection agents can make them live, and are sensitive to sodium hypochlorite, chloride phenol, pentalaldehyde, formaldehyde, and polymerization formaldehyde.

What is the source of infection?

The main source of infection is a rodent infected with monkey acne virus. Long -priests (including monkeys, chimpanzees, people, etc.) can also become a source of infection after infection.

What is the way to spread?

The virus invades the human body through the mucous membrane and damaged skin. People are infected by contacting animal lesions, blood, other body fluids, or being infected with infected animals.

People are mainly transmitted through close contact, and can also be transmitted through droplets. Items contaminated by viruses may also be infected. They can also be transmitted vertically through the placenta. Can't exclude sexual communication.

Is the crowd susceptible?

The crowd is generally susceptible. Those who have been vaccinated in the past have a certain degree of cross protection for monkey acne virus.

What are the clinical manifestations?

The incubation period is 5-21 days, mostly 6-13 days. In the early stage of the onset, cold wars and fever, and the body temperature is mostly above 38.5 ° C. It can be accompanied by symptoms such as headache, drowsiness, fatigue, back pain, and muscle pain. Most patients have enlarged lymph nodes such as neck, armpit, groin and other parts.

A rash occurs 1-3 days after the onset. Some patients may have complications, including secondary bacterial infections, bronchial pneumonia, encephalitis, keratin infections, and purulent disease in the skin lesion.

Monkey acne is a self -limited disease, and most of them are good. Severe cases are common in young children and low immune functions. The prognosis is related to the infected virus branch, virus exposure, previous health status, and severity of complications.

Can it be treated?

At present, there is no alienal anti -acne virus drug, which is mainly symptomatic support and complications.

Symptoms support treatment. Stay in bed, pay attention to supplement nutrition and water, and maintain water and electrolyte balance. Keep the skin, oral, eye, and nose clean and moist to avoid scratching the skin of the rash to avoid secondary infections. When the rash part is severe, analgesic drugs can be given.

Materia Median treatment. Effective antibacterial drugs are given during secondary skin bacterial infection, and the separation identification and drug sensitivity results are adjusted according to pathogenic culture. It is not recommended to apply antibacterial drugs. When a corneal disease occurs, eye drops can be used, supplemented by vitamin A and other treatments. When encephalitis appears, it is given sedative, dehydration and threshold pressure, and protective airway.
