Question 5

WHAT IS MPOX?

Accepted Answer

Monkeypox is a disease caused by the monkeypox virus.  It is a member of the orthopox family of viruses, which includes smallpox and cowpox.    Monkeypox is closely related to smallpox, although typically less severe and less infectious. Monkeypox is a zoonotic illness, meaning it can be transmitted from animals to humans, although it can also be spread from human to human. Its name comes from the fact that the first recorded cases occurred in monkeys, in a Danish research lab in 1958. The first human case was identified in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Question 6

2022 MPOX OUTBREAK

Accepted Answer

During May to June 2022, 27 different countries reported around 1,000 cases of confirmed monkeypox to the World Health Organization.   Most cases to date have presented through sexual health services, mainly &#8211; but not exclusively &#8211; involving men who have sex with other men.  Unusually, most cases are not linked to travel to an endemic area &#8211; instead, where cases have been associated with foreign travel, this has been to Europe and North Africa. This fast and concurrent rise in case numbers in many different non-endemic regions suggests transmission in the community may have been happening for some time.
