A resurgence of monkeypox cases is worrying, especially following the development of a new strain of the virus that presents an evolution of symptoms.
Following a resurgence of cases of Monkeypox (MPOX), formerly known as monkeypox, in Africa, WHO declared the highest level of health alert internationally on 14 August. The organisation said: that imported cases were likely to be detected quickly in Europe.
This resurgence is notably due to a new strain of the virus, clade 1b. It is estimated to be more transmissible and dangerous than the previous one. The disease can be transmitted between humans following close physical contact with an infected person. The incubation period ranges from 5 to 21 days, with the disease being contagious to from the onset of symptoms.

While skin lesions are still a question, they can now appear all over the body. They most often affect “the genitals and anal area, but also the face, mouth, palms of the hands, soles of the feet and the rest of the body” and can cause itching, according to the Ministry of Health. Fever, headache, muscle aches and fatigue are also likely symptoms. Swollen lymph nodes may also form, especially in the jaw and neck. Sore throat when swallowing is also possible.
The most common people The most at risk are immunocompromised people, pregnant women and young children. Complications can occur in certain severe forms such as septicemia or encephalitis. To protect themselves from contamination, affected people must isolate themselves.
