According to Dr. Aparna Mukherjee, Scientist C at the ICMR, “India is prepared for the diseases which are fast spreading in non-endemic nations such as Europe, the United States, and others.” So far, no instances have been documented in India. “
India is prepared, according to an official from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), in light of increased illnesses in non-endemic countries, although no cases have been reported in the country so far.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Dr. Aparna Mukherjee, Scientist C, ICMR, stated in an exclusive interview with ANI, “India is prepared for the illnesses that are quickly spreading in non-endemic nations like Europe, the United States, and others.” So far, no instances have been documented in India. “
Atypical symptoms, particularly in those with a travel history from monkey pox-infected countries, should be closely monitored, according to the health expert.
“We should look for atypical symptoms like high fever, a lot of nonsympathizers, huge lymph nodes, body soreness, rashes, and so on, especially in those who have been to affected areas,” Dr. Mukherjee added.
“People who see the symptoms may be tested, either from the fluid that comes out of the lesions or from respiratory samples, and the National Institute of Virology has a setup for testing these viruses,” she noted.
She went on to say that people should not worry and should avoid close contact with people who test positive for monkey pox.
People should not be alarmed about this disease or its symptoms because they are generally carried through extremely close contact. There are established guidelines for it that have previously been published by the ICMR-NIV, “according to an ICMR representative.
She stated, “Children are more vulnerable to the virus.” The elderly would be immunized with the smallpox vaccine. People who did not receive the smallpox vaccination, which provides cross-immunity to combat the illness, were increasingly susceptible after the 1980s, making younger people more vulnerable. Both children and adults receive the same therapy.
This has also been documented in non-endemic countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Australia, Canada, Austria, the Canary Islands, Israel, and Switzerland.
The current sequence of outbreaks is being reported in non-endemic nations, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), but it is the first time that chains of transmission are being documented without recognized epidemiological ties.
A positive case will be regarded only if it is verified to be infected with the monkey pox virus (by detecting unique sequences of viral DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or sequencing).
Meanwhile, the Union Health Ministry is expected to release instructions on monkey pox soon, according to sources. Management principles such as isolation, contact tracing, contact monitoring, preventative actions, and risk assessment will be included in the recommendations.
“The international travel alert will be included in the recommendations.” They should avoid direct contact with ill individuals, dead or alive; wild creatures such as mammals, including rodents and non-human primates (monkeys and apes); and contact with contaminated items used by sick people.
Consult your local health care provider if you acquire symptoms of monkey pox, such as fever and rash, if you were in an area where monkey pox has been recorded, or if you come into contact with someone who has monkey pox symptoms.
