Monkeypox cases continue to rise. According to a report by Our World in Data, between May 6 and June 4, 2022, there were 919 confirmed monkeypox cases spread across 27 countries.
The number of cases has increased significantly in recent weeks, as shown in the graph.
According to information from the Ministry of Health's website, the monkeypox virus can be transmitted to humans through direct contact with infected animals (bites or scratches), confirmed monkeypox patients, or materials contaminated with the virus.
The virus can enter through broken skin, the respiratory tract, or mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth).
The incubation period of the monkeypox virus, or the interval from infection to the onset of symptoms, usually ranges from 6-16 days, but in some cases it can also be 5-21 days.
Symptoms begin with fever, severe headache, lymphadenopathy (swelling of the lymph nodes), back pain, muscle aches, and weakness. Lymphadenopathy can be felt in the neck, armpits, or groin.
