The first case of death in the United States

According to the latest news from the United States CNN (CNN), on Monday, local time, a public health department in Los Angeles County, USA, said that a local resident died of monkey acne. CNN said that this was the first case known in the United States that died of a monkey acne.

According to CNN, the public health department in Los Angeles and the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention both confirmed the news and stated that the immune system of the death man was seriously damaged and was hospitalized for treatment before his death.

The Public Health Department of Los Angeles County stated in a statement: "Encouraging people with monkey acne and therefore, people who have immune damage to seek medical treatment as soon as possible and continue to receive medical care during the illness."

William Shafner, a professor at the Department of Infectious Diseases of the University of Fandeburg University, told CNN that once monkey acne virus enters the human body, the damaged immune system will not be able to resist, the virus will breed in an uncontrolled manner, and it may spread to more to more This organ system leads to lesions.

U.S. media said that the death case caused by monkey acne is very rare, which is more common in infants, pregnant women, and other weak people in immune systems, such as AIDS patients. Last month, a patient with a monkey acne in Texas died, but the outside world has not confirmed that he died because of monkey acne.

Data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that as of September 12, the United States has reported a total of 22,000 cases of suspected or diagnosed monkey acne cases. Globally, there are nearly 58,000 cases of acne, and 18 of them have died.

US health officials said that the diffusion trend of monkey acne seems to be stable, but this should not lead to complacent. Tan Desai, Director of the World Health Organization, warned last week: "If the downward trend opens the door for complacent, then it may be the most dangerous moment."
