The first "probable" monkeypox case was detected in San
Francisco, health officials said Friday.
According to the San Francisco Department of Public Health, an
individual traveled to a location with an outbreak in cases.
They added the person is currently in isolation and is in good
condition.
The individual reported no close contacts in San Francisco.
According to SFDPH, the initial testing of the case was
completed in a state lab Friday and are now awaiting
confirmation of the test results from the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Health officials said that the risk to the general public from
the virus is currently low as the known cause of spread is
prolonged contact and bodily fluids.
Monkeypox is a rare but potentially serious viral illness,
usually found in west and central Africa. It was first
discovered in monkeys in the late 1950's.
More than a decade later, it spread to humans. Common symptoms
include fever, aches and a distinctive rash all over the body.
NBC Bay Area spoke with UCSF infectious disease expert Dr. Peter
Chin-Hong following the news Friday and asked if this virus was
something that people should worry about.
“We should not be worried at all. This is expected actually. We
expected that there would be an increase in cases, but the
increase has not been exponential. It’s been very gradual,” he
said.
Chin-Hong added that there already are PCR tests to detect it
and monkeypox usually takes three weeks after exposure to get
sick.
“But I think there are two things I would probably ask people to
do specifically around monkeypox. First of all, don’t be
intimate with anybody who is ill, that’s not just for monkeypox,
that goes for COVID," he said. "The second thing is if you see a
very characteristic rash, work with public health to get care
for that person and then, they would likely do contact tracing
as well."
Currently, there are two vaccines available. One is specifically
for monkeypox. While another vaccine is available for smallpox.
Health officials said that if someone already had smallpox or
the smallpox vaccine, then they are immune. The CDC is releasing
additional doses from the national stockpile.
California state officials said it has procured those vaccines
to distribute to counties for preventative use for people who
are identified as close contacts.
Officials said most people who get it will fully recover on
their own.
San Francisco is the third California county to have reported a
probable case of monkeypox. Los Angeles and Sacramento counties
also recently reported potential cases.
Count on faggots to catch any disgusting disease possible.
