Now, after the coronavirus, another disease has become a threat to the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a state of emergency in 13 countries. The website of the Sulaimani Health Directorate provides information about this disease:

Embox monkeypox is caused by a virus and the most common symptoms are painful skin infection that lasts for two to four weeks, accompanied by fever, headache, joint pain and back pain.

Monkeypox is transmitted from person to person through physical contact with an infected person or touching contaminated objects or animals.

Causes of monkeypox transmission:

- Contact with infected people through touching and sexual activity.

- Touching and kissing the skin of the infected person.

- Touching the face while speaking or breathing.

- Touching infected objects.

- Touching infected animals through hunting, slaughter and use of their meat.

Monkeypox virus was first discovered in 1958 in Denmark among monkeys used for medical experiments. In 1970, human infection was first reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Symptoms of monkeypox:

Symptoms appear within a week and last up to four weeks, with some people with weakened immune systems lasting longer.

- Skin infections and throat infections.

- Nausea, headache and weakness.

- Muscle pain and back pain.

- Swelling of lymph nodes.

Monkeypox appears as an infection of the skin, filling the affected area with fluid and causing severe and painful itching. During healing, the skin becomes dry and flaky, and most patients recover within 2 to 4 weeks.

France announced this week it would donate 100,000 monkeypox vaccines to countries with cases, while the United States said it would donate 50,000 to the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has had more than 16,000 cases and 500 deaths this year.
