| What type of disease is monkeypox? | Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease | Interim Advisory for IDSP SSUs in view of Monkeypox cases reported from a few Countries Key points about the disease: • Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease that occurs primarily in tropical rainforest areas of Central and West Africa and is occasionally exported to other regions. • Monkeypox typically presents clinically with fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes and may lead to a range of medical complications. • Monkeypox is usually a self-limited disease with the symptoms lasting from 2 to 4 weeks. Severe cases can occur. Case fatality rate may vary from 1-10% • Monkeypox can be transmitted from Animal to Humans as well as human to human. | 120 | definition | 0.980 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769334633_89811304241653132339.pdf | Interim Advisory for IDSP SSUs in view of Monkeypox cases reported from a few Countries Key points about the disease: • Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease that occurs primarily in tropical rainforest areas of Central and West Africa and is occasionally exported to other regions. | 1 | page=1,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| How does human-to-human transmission of monkeypox primarily occur? | through large respiratory droplets generally requiring a prolonged close contact | The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth). • Animal-to-human transmission may occur by bite or scratch, bush meat preparation, direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, or indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated bedding. • Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur primarily through large respiratory droplets generally requiring a prolonged close contact. • It can also be transmitted through direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, and indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated clothing or linens of an infected person. • The clinical presentation of monkeypox resembles that of smallpox, a related orthopoxvirus infection which was declared eradicated worldwide in 1980. | 412 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769334633_89811304241653132339.pdf | • Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur primarily through large respiratory droplets generally requiring a prolonged close contact. | 1 | |||
| What are the causes of monkeypox cases reported worldwide? | both due to local transmission and also due to travel to African countries | Monkeypox is less contagious than smallpox and causes less severe illness. • Incubation period is usually 7-14 days but can range from 5-21 days and the person is usually not contagious during this period. • An infected person may transmit the disease from 1-2 days before appearance of the rash and remain contagious till all the scabs fall off. Current Scenario: As on date (20th May 2022) cases of Monkey pox have been reported from U.K, U.S.A, Europe, Australia and Canada with no death.
