摘要
The recent unprecedented emergence of the monkeypox (MPX) outbreak rang an alarm bell creating a burden on global health. The virus historically spread in endemic regions of sub-Saharan Africa by animal -human and human-human modes of transmission with an unknown modality. Currently, cases are occurring worldwide while risk factors, transmission, and outcomes of infection are still poorly defined. In addition, the likely genotypic mutation of MPX is an area of concern and requires further assessment. While licensed smallpox vaccinations are currently considered for early prevention after recent exposure, and antivirals are recommended for treating severe cases, there are no treatments available to treat MPX. This review provides general disease awareness and highlights recommendations for the containment of the virus.
