Consider the following statements about Monkeypox:
1) It is a viral zoonotic disease
2) There is no specific treatment or vaccine available for Monkeypox infection
3) The likelihood of the virus being spread during sexual contact is high.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.CorrectWhat is Monkeypox?
About:
• Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease with symptoms similar to smallpox, although with less clinical severity.
• The infection was first discovered in 1958 following two outbreaks of a pox-like disease in colonies of monkeys kept for research — which led to the name ‘monkeypox’.Symptoms:
• Infected people break out in a rash that looks a lot like chicken pox. But the fever, malaise, and headache from Monkeypox are usually more severe than in chicken pox infection.
• In the early stage of the disease, Monkeypox can be distinguished from smallpox because the lymph gland gets enlarged.Transmission:
• Primary infection is through direct contact with the blood, bodily fluids, or cutaneous or mucosal lesions of an infected animal. Eating inadequately cooked meat of infected animals is also a risk factor.
• Human-to-human transmission can result from close contact with infected respiratory tract secretions, skin lesions of an infected person or objects recently contaminated by patient fluids or lesion materials.
• Transmission can also occur by inoculation or via the placenta (congenital monkeypox).
• The likelihood of the virus being spread during sexual contact is high.IncorrectWhat is Monkeypox?
