Smallpox01:24

Smallpox

Smallpox is a severe contagious disease caused by the Variola major virus, a double-stranded DNA member of the Poxviridae family.Variola major transmission occurs primarily via inhalation of virus-laden droplets or direct contact with infectious scabs. The incubation period averages approximately seven days, although it may range from 7 to 17 days depending on the inoculum and host factors.Clinically, the prodromal phase is marked by an abrupt onset of high fever, malaise, headache, and myalgia.
Chickenpox01:20

Chickenpox

Chickenpox is an acute, highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Herpesviridae family. Its transmission occurs primarily through the inhalation of respiratory droplets or direct contact with vesicular fluid from skin lesions. The incubation period typically ranges from 10 to 21 days, during which the virus replicates and disseminates through sequential phases within the host. Although generally self-limiting in children,...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Virology

Background:

  • Monkeypox virus can cause ocular manifestations, including keratitis.
  • Ophthalmic complications of monkeypox are rare but can lead to significant vision impairment.

Observation:

  • Two cases of monkeypox-related keratitis were reviewed.
  • Patients presented with symptoms ranging from viral conjunctivitis to ring-shaped corneal infiltrates following a rash.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via viral PCR.

Findings:

  • Both patients with monkeypox-related keratitis achieved successful outcomes.
  • Antiviral therapy proved effective in managing the condition.

Implications:

  • This study highlights the importance of recognizing and managing monkeypox-related keratitis.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent permanent vision loss.
