The minutes of the scene pointed out that a 29 -year -old Chinese salesman visited Germany from September 2nd to 8th, and men and men appeared in Berlin on September 2. He then went to Spain and returned to Chongqing on September 14. The man had a dry throat and itching, fever on September 9, and red rashes and pustules appeared on the right ankle.

On September 11, he went to a private clinic to take anti -inflammatory drugs. On September 14, he was isolated at Chongqing's new crown pneumonia. He described the clinical manifestations of monkey acne, and was subsequently identified as a suspected case of monkey acne by Chongqing CDC.

After testing, the Chinese-CQ202209 in the above case belongs to the West African Department B.1, which is highly homologous to the German virus collected on June 21. These results confirmed that this case was the first input monkey acne case in mainland China.

The Minutes also wrote that at present, many non -streaming countries outside China and Africa have found many cases of monkey acne, and frequent people have been rumored. Especially among male performers, new clinical symptoms similar to syphilis and other sexually transmitted infections appear. The World Health Organization has announced on July 23 that Monkey Acne is an internationally concerned emergency public health incident (PHEIC).

After Chongqing reported input monkey acne cases, Wu Zunyou, chief expert of the China Centers for Popular disease, issued a document that the "external prevention input" measures for the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic showed an important protective barrier role in order to prevent the input of monkey acne epidemic. The case of Chongqing reported the case of monkey acne was discovered during the "7+3" isolation process of the new crown.

Wu Zunyou further explained that the incubation period of monkey acne is 5-21 days, most of which are 6-13 days. The "7+3" isolation measures for the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic can intercept most of the cases entered overseas, but the cases with more than 7 days of the incubation period may flow into the society.

Through the analysis of the infection law of previous infectious diseases, Wu Zunyou believes that considering that only 5 cases of acne cases in three countries in Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand are considered in the Western Pacific region. The possibility is very small.

Since early May, some non -historical pop countries and regions have reported monkey acne cases, and most of the confirmed cases with travel history have visited Europe and North America, not the popular West Africa and China and Africa. According to the World Health Organization, this is the first time that this is the first non -historic and historic countries in different geographical regions and historic countries that have been discovered by monkey acne virus. According to the World Health Organization, as of September 5, there were 52,996 cases of acne in 102 countries and regions around the world and 18 cases of death.

Monkey acne is a genus of acne virus. It is one of the four viruses of human pathogenic virus in acne virus (the remaining three are ceiling virus, acne seedlings, and acne virus). Monkey acne virus has two branches: West Africa and the Congo Basin. Among them, the mortality rate of Western Africa branch is about 3%, and the mortality of the DRC basin branch is about 10%. Since May, the samples of monkey acne cases found in non -local popular areas have sequencing analysis results in West African branch.
