Yeni Bir Salgın Kapıda: Monkeypox Virüs

Monkeypox, maymun çiçeği virüsü ile oluşan nadir bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Ancak 1 Ocak 2022 tarihinden bu yana Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından 75 üye devletten 16.000 maymun çiçeği vakası ve 5 ölüm bildirilmiştir. Maymun çiçeği hastalığı dünya genelinde beklenmeyen bir hızda yayılmaktadır. Özel bir tedavisi bulunmaması nedeniyle korunma önlemleri konusunda risk grupları ve halka yönelik farkındalık çalışmaları planlanmalıdır.
