Monkeypox Disease
Human monkeypox used to be primarily endemic in the tropical rain forests of central and western Africa, but some cases have lately been reported in the United States and other countries. Early symptoms of monkeypox virus infection include fever, headache, muscle pains, fatigue, and swollen glands. After a few days of early symptoms, patients may develop a few to thousands of characteristic lesions on the face, hands, and feet. The main route of transmission is animal-to-human transmission. People can be infected with monkeypox disease by being bitten by infected animals. Monkeypox virus (MPV) transmission may also occur when exposed to patients’ saliva, respiratory excretion, lesion exudate or crusting material.
During and after the testing with any of these Monkeypox rapid test kits, handle all specimens as if they contain infectious agents. Dispose of device and items in contact with samples as medical waste after use.
