For the first time in the Mainland of my country, a case of monkey acne was discovered.

Chongqing reported on September 16th to diagnose a case of input monkey acne. This is the first time that this round of monkey acne epidemic has discovered monkey acne cases in mainland my country.

In July of this year, the World Health Organization announced that monkey acne has become an internationally concerned public health incident. As of mid -August, 89 countries and regions around the world have reported about 40,000 cases.

Academician Gao Fu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently analyzed that most people in my country did not vaccinate the ceiling vaccine and lacked the background of immune protection for monkey acne virus. At present, it is recommended to control the spread of monkeys between people through early detection and diagnosis of cases, as isolation and contact with contact with contact.

According to the prevention and control guidelines issued by my country this year, the case of monkey acne should be strictly separated by single -person single interval, and those who are connected must be registered, centralized and medical observations.

Cases of monkey acne found in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Chongqing

According to CCTV news, on September 16, Chongqing confirmed a case of input monkey acne. This is the first time that this round of global monkey acne epidemic has discovered monkey acne cases in mainland my country.

This case is a transit person in Chongqing from abroad. During the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in accordance with regulations, symptoms such as rash were found. Monkey acne virus nucleic acid is positive, and national organizational experts are diagnosed with diagnosis of monkey acne diagnosis. The input case is conducting centralized isolation treatment in designated hospitals, and the situation is stable, and the close contacts have implemented the observation measures for isolation. At present, the new coronary virus nucleic acid detection is negative.

According to experts and judges, the case of this case was isolated and controlled by Chongqing, without social activities, and the risk of dissemination of the epidemic was low.

The reporter noticed that three places in my country have found input monkey acne cases.

On June 24 this year, the Taiwan CDC monitors a case of input monkey acne for the first time. It was a man studying in Germany 20 after returning to Taiwan.

On September 6 this year, the Hong Kong Health Protection Center reported that a 30 -year -old men's acne virus nucleic acid was positive, including rash, lymph swelling, and sore throat. The man once lived in the United States and passed through Canada and the Philippines.

Gao Fu: Most people in my country have not vaccinated ceiling vaccines

Lack of monkey acne immune protection

Since May 2022, many non -streaming countries in the world have reported the case of monkey acne and have community communication.

On July 23, 2022, the World Health Organization announced that monkey acne has become an internationally concerned public health incident. As of mid -August, 89 countries and regions around the world have reported about 40,000 cases.

Recently, experts such as academicians Gao Fu published an article "NegleCted Zoonotic Monkeypox in Africa But Now Back in the Spotlight World Wide" to analyze the popularity and prevention strategies of monkey acne.

According to the article, monkey acne has occurred mainly in tropical rain forests in China and West Africa, and occasionally appears in other regions. For more than 50 years before the outbreak of the global epidemic that has affected North America and rich countries since May 2022, the African acne epidemic was severely ignored by the international community.

In 1980, in the case of vaccination, smallpox was eradicated, and the related vaccine items gradually stopped. In the past, the first -generation acne virus ceiling vaccine was used to vaccinate the ceiling vaccine to prevent the effective rate of 85%. As the ceiling vaccine can also prevent monkey acne, the termination of the ceiling vaccine plan at the time also caused surge in the epidemic area of ​​monkey acne. West Africa and China Africa have recently canceled travel restrictions related to new crown pneumonia, which may be one of the reasons for the increase in the case of monkey acne.

Gao Fu believes that most people in my country (especially people born after 1981) have no vaccination of ceiling and lack of immune protection background for monkey acne virus, which has led to a large number of people who are prone to infection with monkey acne. With the increase of the number of China -Africa trade and the number of African workers and tourists, the risk of monkey acne input has also increased objectively.

At present, it is recommended to control the spread of monkey acne between people through early detection and diagnosis of cases, as isolation and contact with contact with contact with people. It is not recommended to vaccinate large -scale vaccines to prevent monkey acne on the crowd. We need to study and treat monkey acne carefully, but we should not panic.

Question 1

What are the symptoms of monkey acne? Is it fatal?

In June of this year, the Office of the National Health and Health Commission and the Office of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly issued the "Monkey Acne Diagnosis and Treatment Guide (2022 Edition)".

According to the guide, Monchidal Virus (MPXV) is classified as a genus of acne virus of acne virus. It is one of the four genus acne viruses to human pathogenic diseases. The other three are smallpox virus, acne seedlings, and acne virus.

The virus's 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. The rash first appears on the face, and gradually spreads to the limbs and other parts. The rash is mostly centrifugal distribution. The rash on the face and limbs is more common than the torso. Both the palms and the feet can appear. It can also affect oral mucosa, digestive tract, genitals, conjunctiva, and cornea. The rash has changed from a few stages of rash, pimples, herpes, pustules to crusting. The herpes and pustules are mostly spherical, with a diameter of about 0.5-1 centimeters. The texture is harder and can be accompanied by obvious itching and pain. About 2-4 weeks from the illness to scabs. Crusted erythema or pigmentation can be left behind, and even scars can be left. The duration of scars can last for several years. 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. The mortality rate of West African branch is about 3%, and the mortality rate of the DRC basin is about 10%.

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

According to Xinhua News Agency, on September 12, Los Angeles County, California, USA confirmed this year's first case of human infection of monkey acne virus in the United States.

Question 2

What is the way monkey acne spread?

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

The virus invades the human body through the mucosa 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.

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

Question 3

How to prevent and control monkey acne epidemic?

In June of this year, my country released the "Technical Guide to Monkey Control and Control (2022 Edition)".

The prevention and control guidelines mentioned that the returnees of the epidemic areas should pay attention to self -health. Symptoms such as rash should take the initiative to seek medical treatment, and inform the history of the doctor's epidemic area to help the diagnosis and treatment. If there is a history of contact and exposure abroad, no symptoms have occurred, and you can actively contact the local centers for resource and reporting.

When patients with various medical and health institutions at all levels, patients with fever are accompanied by rash with rash, they should pay attention to the history of epidemiography, and at the same time, pathogenic screening should be performed. During the isolation of the existing immigration personnel, the regions should take the initiative to conduct monkey acne virus investigations, especially within 21 days before the entry, there is a monkey acne epidemic report to report the history of the country.

Suspicious and confirmed cases shall be transported to the specified professional infectious disease treatment institution for special transportation and treatment shall be transferred to the specified professional infectious disease treatment institutions assigned by the local health administrative department for strict observation and treatment. Suspected and confirmed cases should be strictly quarantine and implement pollutant treatment. Those who are connected must be registered, centralized and medical observations. The medical observation period is 21 days.
