Introduction: Monkeypox virus can be transmitted through large respiratory droplets, close or direct contact with skin lesions, and possibly through contaminated contaminants

Monkeypox virus, a zoonotic orthopox DNA virus related to the virus that causes smallpox, was first identified in humans in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire)

Although monkeypox virus has been circulating in traditionally endemic areas for decades, monkeypox research has been marginalized and underfunded due to its perceived inefficiency in human-to-human transmission

The spread of monkeypox virus can be through large respiratory droplets, close or direct contact with skin lesions, and possibly through contaminated contaminants

Recently, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study titled "Monkeypox Virus Infection in Humans across 16 Countries"

results and clinical presentation

Overall, 98 percent of those infected were gay or bisexual men, and the suspected route was close sexual contact, the findings said

In this case series, monkeypox presented with various dermatological and systemic manifestations

Demographic and clinical characteristics of monkeypox patients

According to investigations such as sexual history records, clinicians reported that 95% of the patients were suspected of being transmitted through close sexual contact

The study found monkeypox virus in most semen samples from monkeypox patients using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

The researchers also reported two types of serious complications: one case of epiglottitis and two cases of myocarditis

While the current outbreak has disproportionately affected gay or bisexual men and other men who have sex with men, monkeypox can affect anyone

Summarize

Since the virus knows no borders, the world needs to act in solidarity and act quickly to close the knowledge gap and contain the outbreak
