Abstract

Monkeypox, maymun çiçeği virüsü ile oluşan nadir bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Ancak 1 Ocak 2022 tarihinden bu yana Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından 75 üye devletten 16.000 maymun çiçeği vakası ve 5 ölüm bildirilmiştir. Maymun çiçeği hastalığı dünya genelinde beklenmeyen bir hızda yayılmaktadır. Özel bir tedavisi bulunmaması nedeniyle korunma önlemleri konusunda risk grupları ve halka yönelik farkındalık çalışmaları planlanmalıdır.

A New Epidemic Is At The Door: Monkeypox Virus

Abstract

Monkeypox is a rare infectious disease caused by the monkeypox virus. However, since 1 January 2022, 16,000 cases of monkeypox and 5 deaths have been reported by the World Health Organization from 75 member states. Monkeypox is spreading at an unexpected rate throughout the world. Since there is no specific treatment, awareness studies should be planned for risk groups and the public regarding prevention measures.
