Monkeypox virus concept. Medical desk

Monkeypox lesions are first macular, then papular, then vesicular, pustular, and then crust, with 1-2 days between stages. The lesions are often painful, and lymphadenopathy is frequently present. Notably, the rash can occur on the hands and appear firm, vesicular and umbilicated. A flu-like illness often precedes the rash. Several recent cases had lesions in the genital and perianal areas, some without a preceding illness. The incubation period is usually 7-14 days, and illnesses typically last 2-4 weeks. In Africa, the case fatality rates have been reported to be 1-11%. There is currently no specific treatment for monkeypox, but particularly in the outbreak setting, postexposure smallpox vaccine and antivirals may be considered after consultation with public health.

Notice on Monkeypox

A number of monkeypox cases have been reported and a case has been confirmed in alameda county.

This condition is a self-limited infectious illness without any particular treatment. It is usually contracted by close and direct contact with skin pustules or mucous membranes or respiratory tract via prolonged face-to-face contact.

A number of cases have been reported in MSM or gay men. If you suspect you might have this condition or need evaluation, please contact the office, and request a video tele visit.

Thank you,
