Key Points About Mpox:

- **Transmission**: Mpox is primarily spread through close contact with an infected person or animal, or through contact with material contaminated with the virus. It can spread through respiratory droplets, direct contact with bodily fluids, or skin lesions, and by touching contaminated objects like bedding or clothing.

- **Symptoms**: The symptoms of mpox are similar to, but milder than, those of smallpox. They include fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills, and exhaustion. A distinctive rash, which often begins on the face and then spreads to other parts of the body, is also characteristic of the disease. The rash typically progresses through several stages, including macules, papules, vesicles, pustules, and scabs.

- **Duration**: The illness typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks, and it is usually self-limiting, meaning it resolves on its own without specific treatment. However, it can be more severe in some individuals, particularly those with weakened immune systems.

- **Treatment**: There is no specific treatment for mpox, but supportive care to manage symptoms is important. Vaccines used for smallpox, such as the JYNNEOS vaccine, have been found effective in preventing mpox.

- **Prevention**: Preventive measures include avoiding contact with infected animals or people, practicing good hygiene, and using protective equipment in healthcare settings. Vaccination is recommended for people at high risk of exposure.
