Monkeypox: Present-day Scenario in India
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: An orthopox virus known as monkeypox has been reported to be spreading around the planet in 2022. In India and several other emerging nations, a major epidemic has not yet happened. Our goal with this study is to raise awareness of epidemiological, diagnostic, and infrastructural difficulties among health care workers, particularly paramedical staff. The most common way that this disease manifests typically cutaneous; nevertheless, multiorgan involvement which is frequently disregarded can result in morbidity and death. We have discussed vaccination as a preventative measure, a therapy option, and a differential diagnosis. We have also provided recommendations about the provision of training to non-medical workers in the event of an epidemic, including the field diagnosis, workup, and monitoring of confirmed cases both at home and at a medical facility. This might be very helpful in establishing an early diagnosis, adopting the proper contact precautions, and recommendations and prudent resource management.Keywords: Vaccine, Preventive, Antiviral, Monkeypox
