SAN ANTONIO – Two people in Bexar County have tested positive
for monkeypox, according to the San Antonio Metropolitan Health
District.

They are the first confirmed cases here but Metro Health says
the threat to the community still remains low.

Both of the individuals are isolating and are following the
recommended protocols. Metro Health has also notified their
close contacts.

As of Wednesday, Texas has reported 42 cases of monkeypox.

Austin has 6 confirmed cases and 7 presumptive cases.

The rare viral disease involves “skin lesions in the genital,
groin, and anal regions” that could be confused with rashes
caused by herpes and syphilis, according to health officials.

Other symptoms of monkeypox include fever, chills, headache,
muscle aches and backache, exhaustion, and swollen lymph nodes.

“With increased cases occurring nationwide and across the state,
we have been actively monitoring this situation,” said Metro
Health Director Claude A. Jacob in a news release. “Because the
disease does not easily spread from person-to-person without
direct contact, the chance of exposure to the public is minimal.
We encourage residents to be aware of the symptoms, follow
prevention recommendations, and consult with a healthcare
provider when needed.”

Monkeypox is part of the same family of viruses that cause
smallpox, according to the CDC.

It can be spread through skin-to-skin contact, especially with a
rash, scabs or by sharing body fluids with someone who has the
viral disease.

“Additionally, touching objects, fabrics, and surfaces that have
been used by someone with monkeypox or close contact with
respiratory secretions can transmit the disease,” Metro Health
said in a release.

To help curb the spread of monkeypox, Metro Health recommends
the following:

Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact in large crowds where people
are wearing minimal clothing (such as nightclubs, festivals,
raves, saunas, and bathhouses).
Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with someone with a new,
unexplained rash.
If you were exposed to monkeypox or have symptoms such as fever,
chills, swollen lymph nodes and a new, unexplained rash, contact
your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Healthcare
providers can provide testing and care for people with monkeypox.
If sick with monkeypox, isolate at home until the rash has fully
resolved, the scabs have fallen off, and a fresh layer of intact
skin has formed. Monkeypox is usually a self-limiting infection
that does not require hospitalization.
Supplies of the vaccine against monkeypox are limited, including
in Bexar County. Health officials said vaccination is only being
offered to people identified as contacts during case
investigations.
