At present, there is no treatment for monkey acne virus infection. However, monkey acne and ceiling virus are similar in genes, which means that antiviral drugs and vaccines developed to prevent smallpox can be used to prevent and treat monkey acne virus infections. On July 28, the US CDC published a statement that there are currently two vaccines that can be used to prevent monkey acne virus infection. The former was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019. It is only approved in Europe and the United States. The latter is used by FDA licenses to treat smallpox. When applying for new drugs, it can be used to treat monkey acne.

Jin Dongyan, a professor at the School of Biomedicine of the University of Hong Kong, analyzed that the immune effect of inoculating ceiling vaccines in the body is lifelong. Generally, people over 40 years of age have taken ceiling vaccines, and immune memories are in the body. This is equivalent to this group in the entire population. A "intermediate barrier" was built.

But at the same time, it is worth noting that since China stopped inocular vaccine in the early 1980s, people under the age of 40 have generally no immunity to smallpox and monkey acne. Therefore, while paying close attention to the international monkey acne epidemic in China, we must prepare in advance and keep vigilance in advance. Once a case is found, the virus transmission is blocked in time to avoid falling into a passive situation.
