Abstract:
As the COVID-19 pandemic situation was on an end, a new monkeypox menace has been discovered in several places of the world. The most comforting thing is that the fatality rate of monkeypox is unlike Covid-19. But the recent global outbreaks and the rise in the number of cases has drawn attention of world towards it. The number of cases in multiple countries have already surpassed 25,000, according to the WHO report released on July 25, 2022. The zoonotic disease monkey-pox virus causes a feverish sickness in humans, with characteristic skin rashes and is similar to smallpox in structure, clinical presentation, and response to antiviral medicine. This review offers important insights on the evolution of the monkeypox virus and its different modes of transmission. It also discusses epidemiology, clinical findings, management, challenges, and current strategies for the disease, as well as the implications of the current epidemic on public health. Comprehensive research on the pathophysiology and management of monkeypox is still lacking. In order to solve this problem, we reviewed the pathology and virology of monkeypox infection and provided an overview of the most recent developments in anti-monkeypox medications.
