@Jinan citizen about monkey acne, please take this prevention and control guide

A few days ago, the World Health Organization announced that the epidemic of monkey acne epidemic constitutes a "international concern public health incident", which is the highest -level public health alert issued by the World Health Organization to the world. In the face of the mighty monkey acne epidemic, what is its way to spread? How should citizens protect it?

Li Min, deputy director of Licheng District Disease Prevention and Control Center, introduced that monkey acne is a kind of human and animals caused by monkey acne virus. It can be spread to humans through animals, or it can be transmitted directly through people. Patients with acne usually have good prognosis and generally recover from 2-4 weeks. Newborns, children and people with basic diseases such as immune defects may be more symptoms.

Symptoms of monkey acne usually include fever, severe headache, muscle soreness, back pain, mental weakness, lymph nodes, rash or skin damage. The rash usually appears within 1-3 days after fever. Rasal can be manifested as different forms such as mobilization, herpes, pus, scabs, etc., and rash at different stages can appear at the same time. Rasal is often concentrated on the face, palms and feet, or may also be on the mouth, genitals and eyes. The number of skin lesions can not wait from several to thousands.

"Inocular vaccine may have a certain protective effect on preventing monkey acne infections." Li Min said that after the elimination of ceilings in 1980, the ceiling vaccine stopped vaccination, so most young people who did not vaccinate the ceiling vaccine had the risk of infection. Of course, the highest risk of infection is those who have close physical contact with patients with acne or infected animals.

Under the normalization of the epidemic prevention and control, how to do a good job of preventing and controlling monkey acne epidemic? How to monitor the immigration personnel? Li Min introduced that in the "Monkey Acne Prevention Technology Guide (2022 Edition)" issued by the National Health Commission It is pointed out that during the isolation of the existing immigration personnel, while investigating the infection of the new crown virus, local governments should actively conduct monkey acne virus investigations. Especially within 21 days before the entry, there are people who report the history of monkey acne epidemic to report the history of the country, and the rash is closely monitored. When suspicious persons or suspected cases are found, the medical and control institutions in the area shall be reported in a timely manner and transferred to a fixed -point medical institution. In local popular regions of monkey acne, try to avoid contact with rodent animals and primates (including diseases or deaths) as much as possible. Do not directly contact the blood and meat of animals. It must be cooked thoroughly before eating. During the processing of infected animals or infection tissues, and during the slaughter, gloves and other appropriate protective supplies should be worn. Returned personnel in the epidemic area should pay attention to self -health monitoring. When symptoms such as rash, they should take the initiative to seek medical treatment, and inform the history of the doctor's epidemic area travel history to help diagnosis and treatment. If there is a history of contact and exposure abroad, no symptoms have occurred, and the local CDC can be contacted to consult and report.

At the same time, when various medical and health institutions at all levels are admitted to patients with fever with rash, they should pay attention to the history of epidemiology of cases, and at the same time, pathogenic screening is performed to eliminate chickenpox, rubella, measles, or other clear causes. “猴痘和新冠肺炎属于不同病毒引起的传染病，在两种传染病均流行的地区可能存在叠加感染。”李敏说，在疫情常态化防控下，预防新冠肺炎的措施比如戴口罩、 Washing hands and gathering less. At this stage, it is recommended that residents do not travel to areas where monkey acne virus is infected.
