In Kerala, a person from abroad has been found suspected to be infected with monkeypox. His sample has been sent for examination. Only after confirmation will he be considered monkeypox infected.

 

State Health Minister Veena George gave this information on Thursday. He said that the suspected patient with monkeypox has been admitted to the hospital. Symptoms of monkeypox were seen in this person after returning from abroad. The blood sample has been sent to the National Institute of Virology for testing. This disease can be confirmed only after the test report comes.

The virus spreads from animals to humans

 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), monkeypox is a viral zoonosis (a virus transmitted from animal to human). It has symptoms similar to those seen in patients with smallpox in the past. However, it is less severe in terms of treatment. Monkeypox has emerged as a major orthopoxvirus after the eradication and eradication of smallpox in the 1980s and the subsequent cessation of vaccination.
