Unpacking (analyse and consider something in detail) <\/strong>a conundrum (A difficult problem)<\/strong>: on potential severity of monkeypox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The authorities must communicate the potential severity of monkeypox <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A fortnight (A period of fourteen consecutive days) <\/strong>after India confirmed its first case of monkeypox, it has reported its first casualty (An accident that causes someone to die)<\/strong>. A 22-year-old man, from Thrissur in Kerala, died due to suspected monkeypox symptoms, a day after which Kerala\u2019s Health Minister Veena George said he had tested positive in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The patient was undergoing treatment in a private hospital for severe fatigue (Temporary loss of strength and energy resulting from hard physical or mental work) <\/strong>and brain fever, six days after his arrival in the State on July 21. His swab (Implement consisting of a small piece of cotton that is used to apply medication or cleanse a wound or obtain a specimen of a secretion) <\/strong>samples have been sent to the ICMR-National Institute of Virology (NIV) centre in Alappuzha for confirmation. Death from the virus is reportedly rare (Not widely known)<\/strong>, though as the experience of COVID-19 shows, it could vary depending on the population at hand. According to the World Health Organization, the case fatality ratio of monkeypox has historically ranged from 0% to 11% in the general population and has been higher among young children. In recent times, the case fatality ratio has been around 3%-6%. While the disease has been around in Africa since the 1970s, it has also been reported in the U.S., the U.K. and Israel. In 2017, Nigeria experienced a large outbreak (A sudden violent spontaneous occurrence (usually of some undesirable condition))<\/strong>, with a case fatality ratio of approximately 3%; cases continue to be reported. It is the surge (A sudden or abrupt strong increase) <\/strong>outside Africa, in 78 countries, that has elevated (Take from a lower to a higher position) <\/strong>the risk profile of the disease along with the realisation that there are considerable gaps in knowledge on whether the disease poses a greater risk to specific population groups, just as it was eventually determined for COVID-19. In monkeypox deaths in Brazil and Spain, the patients were reported to have had serious associated syndromes (A pattern of symptoms indicative of some disease) <\/strong>such as encephalitis and lymphoma, though it is unclear what role the virus played in their disease outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That monkeypox spreads mainly through sexual transmission and close contact \u2014 it is not an airborne (Moved or conveyed by or through air) <\/strong>disease \u2014 should not be of comfort to health authorities. The death in Thrissur highlights the need for a thorough probe (Investigate thoroughly to see if true) <\/strong>as well as a public disclosure on the case progression. For instance, Kerala\u2019s health authorities say the person was admitted not after being confirmed to be monkeypox-positive but due to a fever and experiencing fatigue. It was only later that the rashes (Any red eruption of the skin) <\/strong>and blisters (an elevation of the skin filled with serous fluid, caused by rubbing or friction) showed up (Appear or become visible)<\/strong>. Intriguingly (in a manner that arouses one’s curiosity or interest)<\/strong>, that he had tested positive for monkeypox was disclosed to the health authorities a day before he died. It is to rule out a misdiagnosis (An incorrect diagnosis) <\/strong>of monkeypox (by the UAE) that the NIV has undertaken a re-test. India has announced a task force to monitor the disease spread. The Indian Council of Medical Research has isolated the strain <\/strong>of the virus and invited vaccine makers to develop a vaccine. It has also invited proposals to develop diagnostic kits. While it is fortunate that the disease so far appears to be self-limiting, the Government must not be slack (Lacking in rigour or strictness) <\/strong>in transparently communicating the potential severity of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
