Studies: The symptoms of British monkey acne patients are different from the past

A recent study in the UK shows that the symptoms of patients with the epidemic in the UK are different from the symptoms of patients with acne epidemic in the past. The proportion of fever symptoms is relatively low, the rash range is small, and the symptoms are slightly mild. Researchers have called on the British government to revise relevant expressions and more accurately describe the symptoms of monkey acne.

Researchers took 54 patients diagnosed before May 26 as the research object, accounting for about 60%of the number of people in the UK at that time. These patients have lived in London and have had men and men. According to the British Health and Safety Administration, monkey acne virus has not yet been defined as sexually transmitted infection, but intimate contact in sexual behavior.

Researchers have found that only 57%of these patients have fever symptoms, and 85%to 100%of patients in the previous epidemic will have a fever; in the past epidemic, there were a lot of rashes on the limbs, faces and necks of patients, and most of these British patients were mostly. There are only one or two rashes with a small range. In addition, most of these British patients have mild symptoms and lasted less than 3 days, and only 5 were hospitalized for treatment.

The main author of the research report, Nicolo Girometti from the National Health Care System Trust Foundation from Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in the United Kingdom, said that if the definition of the symptoms of monkey acne in the UK at this stage, at least one -sixth of patients It will not be regarded as "suspected cases".

Studies have also found that one -quarter of these patients are carriers of AIDS viruses, and another quarter suffers from other sexually transmitted diseases. Researchers believe that the definition of monkey acne should be re -examined to avoid missed diagnosis. Because monkey acne symptoms are similar to other common sexually transmitted diseases.

This is the first related study since the British Outbreak of Monkey Acne.

According to data released by the British Health and Security Agency on June 28, as of June 26, a total of 1,076 confirmed cases of British monkey acne reached. (Zhang Jing)
