00:00WHO's head Dr. Tedros declared monkeypox epidemic a public health emergency of international

00:06concern on July 23rd, 2022.

00:09The Indian government also held a high-level meeting on the very next day on 24th July.

00:14So what do we know about monkeypox so far?

00:16Before we start this video, here is a disclaimer.

00:18This video contains graphic images which might be uncomfortable for some viewers.

00:23Monkeypox is a zoonotic viral infection.

00:26What is a zoonotic viral infection?

00:28It is an infection which can spread from animals to humans, though monkeypox spread

00:32from person to person.

00:34Monkeypox spreads from person to person through close contact with someone who has a monkeypox

00:39rash or including sexual contact.

00:43Human to human transmission occurs primarily through large respiratory droplets.

00:47It can also be transmitted through direct contact with body fluids or lesion materials

00:51and indirect contact with lesion materials such as contaminated clothing or linens of

00:56an infected person.

00:58Animal to human transmission may occur by bite or scratch of infected animal like small

01:02mammals including rodents i.e. rats and squirrels and non-human primates like monkeys and apes

01:09or through bushmeat which is general term for meat of wild animals.

01:13Symptoms of monkeypox include fever, headache, muscle ache, back pain, low energy and swollen

01:18limb nodes.

01:20This is followed or accompanied by development of a rash and lesions which can last for 2

01:24or 3 weeks.

01:25The rash can be found on the face, palms, soles of the feet, eyes, mouth, throat, groin

01:31and genital and anal regions of the body.

01:34The number of lesions can range from 1 to several thousands.

01:37The symptoms typically last 2 or 3 weeks and usually go away on their own with supportive

01:42care such as medication for pain or fever.

01:46People remain infectious until all of the lesions have crusted over and scabs fallen

01:51off and a new layer of skin has formed underneath.

01:54So who is at risk of catching monkeypox?

01:56People who live with or have close contact with someone who has monkeypox or who has

02:00regular contact with animals who could be infected are most at risk.

02:05In addition, newborns, young children and people with underlying immune deficiencies

02:09may be at risk of more serious symptoms and in rare cases death from monkeypox.

02:14Those at high risk for severe disease or complications include pregnant women and children and immunocompromised

02:20individuals whose immune system's ability to fight infection is compromised.

02:25So what is the treatment for people with monkeypox?

02:29Symptoms normally resolve on their own without the need of treatment.

02:32Patient can use medication for pain and fever to relieve some symptoms.

02:38Anyone with monkeypox needs to stay hydrated, eat well and get enough sleep.

02:43People with monkeypox should avoid scratching their skin.

02:46The rash can be kept clean with sterilized water or antiseptic.

02:50Lidocaine can be applied to oral and pre-annual regions to relieve pain.

02:56Since 1970, human cases of monkeypox have been reported in 11 African countries, Benin,

03:01Cameroon, CAR, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria,

03:07the Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone and South Sudan.

03:10A total of four cases of monkeypox have been reported in India, three people from Kerala

03:15and one from Delhi who had no history of travel outside India.

03:18Till now, no deaths have been reported in India.

03:22So are there any vaccines available?

03:24A Danish biotechnology company, Bavarian Nordic AS, was granted marketing approval for its

03:30monkeypox vaccine.

03:33It's called Imvanax by the European Commission on 25th July.

03:38Imvanax has been approved in the EU since 2013 to prevent smallpox.

03:43It was also considered a potential vaccine for monkeypox.

03:47Monkeypox belongs to the orthopoxvirus family of viruses, which includes smallpox.

03:51Luckily, due to cross-protection, a phenomenon in which pre-existing viral infections prevents

03:59a secondary infection, smallpox vaccines also work for monkeypox.

04:03So who should get vaccinated?

04:05Only those at risk, for example, someone who has been in close contact with someone who

04:08has monkeypox should be considered for vaccination.

04:13Mass vaccination is not recommended at this time.

04:16This is said by WHO.

04:18So is there a risk of this becoming a larger outbreak?

04:21According to WHO, monkeypox is less contagious than other infectious diseases such as COVID

04:27because it requires close contact with infected individuals or animals to spread and contaminate

04:34the environment.

04:35So that's all about monkeypox.
