What is Mfox?

The virus was first identified in laboratory monkeys in 1958, leading to its original name. The first human case was reported in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A multi-country outbreak in 2022 led to the World Health Organization adopting the term \"Mpox\" to avoid stigma associated with the original name.

Symptoms

  • Initial (prodrome) phase: Fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, exhaustion, and often swollen lymph nodes.
  • Rash phase: A characteristic rash typically appears 1-3 days after fever, progressing from flat spots to raised bumps, then fluid-filled blisters (vesicles and pustules), and finally scabs. The rash can be painful and itchy, appearing on any part of the body including genitals and anus.

Transmission

Mfox primarily spreads through close, prolonged, skin-to-skin contact with an infected person's rash, scabs, or body fluids. It can also transmit through respiratory droplets during extended face-to-face contact or by touching contaminated objects like clothing, bedding, or towels used by an infected individual.

Contagious Period: Varies by disease

Prevention

  • Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with people showing Mfox symptoms or rash.
  • Do not touch contaminated bedding, towels, or clothing used by an infected person.
  • Practice good hand hygiene frequently with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • Vaccines, such as JYNNEOS (MVA-BN), are available and recommended for at-risk individuals or post-exposure.
