There are questions: Monkey acne has been listed by the World Health Organization as an internationally concerned public health incident. How risks to our country are the risk of monkey acne? How will we correct and prevent monkey acne epidemic correctly?

Dong Xiaoping pointed out that monkey acne is a kind of human and beast caused by monkey acne virus, which is mainly clinically manifested as fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy. Since May 2022, monkey acne has stepped out of Africa again and has been spread in more than 70 countries and regions around the world. my country has not yet found related cases.

The main ways to spread monkey acne are through the spread between humans and animals, mainly infected with the exudate, blood, body fluids, etc., or being bitten and caught by animals. The spread between people is mainly through close contact for a long time, and it can also be transmitted through droplets. Items contaminated by viruses may also cause transmission, and they can also be transmitted vertically through the placenta. Through sexual communication, this approach has not been completely confirmed. Monkey acne is a very obvious self -limiting disease. Most patients have a good prognosis. Severe cases are often seen in young children, low immune function, and the prognosis of the disease and the type of infection virus. The degree of exposure, the state of previous health, and the severity of complications.

Dong Xiaoping introduced that the National Health and Health Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine issued the "Guidelines for Monkey Acne Diagnosis and Treatment (2022 Edition)" in June this year, and the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also released the "Monkey Acne Prevention and Control Technology Guide (2022 Edition)". It provides guidance for the prevention and control of monkey acne diagnosis and treatment.

In the next step, we will continue to strengthen the prevention and control of monkey acne around the following four aspects:

The first is to strengthen the research and judgment of the epidemic, follow up in real time, follow the progress of foreign outbreaks and prevent and control work, and carry out risk assessment of epidemic conditions. The second is to strengthen monitoring monitoring monitoring, and strengthen the health monitoring of immigration personnel, especially from personnel from the epidemic areas. The third is to strengthen technical training for medical and health personnel, because most doctors have never seen monkey acne, and improve their recognition, reporting consciousness and diagnosis and treatment capabilities. The fourth is to prepare for monkey acne diagnostic reagents, therapeutic drugs and vaccines, so as to achieve early discovery, early reports, early isolation, early treatment, and effectively ensure the safety and physical health of the people.
