UK health officials have confirmed the discovery of a new case of the Clade 1B Clade 1B (Clade 1B) (formerly known monkey chickenpox) that raises concern at the global level.
The UK Health Security Agency announced that the patient was discovered in the East Sussex region, but is now under specialized auspices in the Gaiz and St. Thomas Foundation of National Health Services in London.
The agency explained – according to the British Daily Mail – that the patient, the sixth case in the United Kingdom with this strain so far, has recently returned to Britain from Uganda, where the virus spreads among the population. The officials added that the potential mixers of the patient who may have been exposed to the virus are being tracked, and the test and treatment will be provided to these mixed if necessary.
The first British case with the new dynasty, which was discovered on October 30, was also found in a person traveling from Africa to the United Kingdom, and led to the transmission of the disease to three other cases within the same family.
The UK’s Health and Humanitarian Services Authority said that the continuous danger to the virus on the general public has been low, and that the cases associated with Africa are expected.
The new strain from Imbox and its symptoms
Central Africa has spread, “Clyde 1B”, the new Medam of Mbox, which resulted in the death of at least a thousand people since the outbreak of the disease began. It is estimated that the strain leads to the death of about 5% of the adults who develop it, but the death rate rises to one in 10 among the children.
Common symptoms of the Empox virus include a skin rash or pus -filled lesions that can last from two to 4 weeks. It can also cause fever, headache, muscle pain, back pain and enlarged lymph nodes.
In a few cases, the infection can be entered into the blood and lungs, as well as other parts of the body such as the brain, which makes it threatening life.
Infection is mainly transmitted by close contact with the affected person, or by contacting contaminated materials such as bed brushes.
Anyone who has symptoms should continue to avoid contacting other people while the symptoms continue.
