The World Health Organization has declared a global health emergency due to the new variant of this disease, for which there is no specific treatment.
The Ministry of Health has reported that 76 cases of monkeypox (mpox) have been confirmed, out of the 212 cases that have been reported in Mexico so far in 2024.
In which states have infections been confirmed?
In Mexico, several entities have begun to register infections of the disease.
76 are confirmed, distributed in 13 states of our country: Mexico City has 41, Quintana Roo reports 9, Jalisco 3, Morelos 2, Puebla 2, State of Mexico reports 3, Nuevo Leon has 1, Sinaloa 1, Tamaulipas 1, Tlaxcala 1, Veracruz 3, Baja California Sur 7.
Health authorities have registered cases of monkeypox in women in the states of Baja California Sur, Quintana Roo, Sonora, Veracruz and Tamaulipas.
What is monkeypox?
Although a person who has contracted MPox usually begins to show symptoms and signs a week after exposure, the reality is that there are also cases in which they appear in one day or up to three weeks.
These same symptoms can last two to four weeks, although they can be extended in people who have a weakened immune system.
In MPox, there are similar symptoms that occur in both children and adults:
*Skin rash.
*Fever.
*Headache, sore throat, muscle and/or back pain.
*Lack of energy.
*Swollen lymph nodes.
How is monkeypox transmitted?
It is through direct skin contact; although there are also cases where contact with blood, saliva, including sexual contact (with or without anal, oral or vaginal reception) due to direct contact with lesions or fluids, urine or feces cause it; and of course, the same skin lesions of an infected person are transmitters.
What is mpox (monkeypox)?
It is a viral zoonosis caused by the monkeypox virus, which belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus, which includes the variola virus (which causes smallpox).
MPOX (monkeypox) was first detected in Africa in 1970. There are two genetically distinct strains of the MPOX virus: the Congo Basin strain (central Africa) and the West African strain. Human infections with the West African strain appear to cause less severe disease compared to the Congo Basin strain.
Is there a vaccine against monkeypox in Mexico?
In Mexico there is no specific vaccine against monkeypox.
It is available in some countries such as the United States.
