First Suspected MPOX case in India | News9

India has reported its first suspected case of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox), a viral disease that causes flu-like symptoms followed by rashes and lesions. A male patient who recently traveled from a country with active mpox cases has been isolated. Mpox is primarily transmitted through direct contact with infected individuals or animals, and the current outbreak is driven by the more virulent Clade 1b strain, with a higher fatality rate in children. Although there is no specific treatment, vaccines like MVA-BN and ACAM2000 can help prevent infection.

The disease typically resolves on its own within 2-4 weeks, but vaccines and supportive care can mitigate severe symptoms. Awareness and prevention measures, such as avoiding close contact with infected individuals and maintaining hygiene, are essential.
