Abstract:
The current monkeypox outbreak reawakens the concern that poxviridae have a high potential for zoonotic spillover and causing a pandemic. Much fieldwork and research have been done by health care and public health workers in Africa during previous human outbreaks, and their knowledge should inform our global response to the current outbreak. However, unusual clinical presentations now have potential implications for recognizing the disease. In addition, infections from poxviridae, such as monkeypox, have common cutaneous signs that occur early, may be related to periods of transmissibility, and can leave scarring. Therefore, dermatologists will play a key role in recognizing and diagnosing infections and educating and preparing frontline health care workers for the early detection of new cases and clusters of monkeypox.
摘要:
当前的猴痘爆发重新唤起了人们的担忧,即痘病毒科具有很高的人畜共患溢出并引起大流行的潜力。在以前的人类爆发期间,非洲的卫生保健和公共卫生工作者已经进行了大量的野外工作和研究,他们的知识应该为我们对当前疫情的全球反应提供信息。然而,不寻常的临床表现现在对认识该疾病有潜在的影响.此外,痘病毒科感染,比如猴痘,有早期出现的常见皮肤体征,可能与可传播期有关,可以留下疤痕。因此,皮肤科医生将在识别和诊断感染、教育和准备一线医护人员早期发现新病例和猴痘集群方面发挥关键作用。
