Doctors now urge to be alert about Monkeypox

医生敦促对猴痘保持警惕

NEW DELHI: The Covid-19 pandemic isn’t over yet. But there already are reports of another viral infection called monkeypox spreading in Europe. No such case has been reported in India yet.

新德里：新冠肺炎疫情尚未结束，有报告称另一种被称为猴痘的病毒感染在欧洲蔓延。印度目前还没有报告此类病例。

The first case of the viral infection in humans, which otherwise infects simians, was reported in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Infectious disease experts say there have been very few cases of monkeypox outside central and west Africa in the past 50 years. That’s why the sudden spread of the disease in Europe in unusually high numbers has raised an alarm. The World Health Organization has called an emergency meeting to discuss the outbreak.

1970年在刚果民*共和国报告了第一例人类猴痘病毒感染病例，本只会感染猿类。传染病专家说，在过去的50年里，中非和西非以外很少有猴痘病例。所以这种疾病在欧洲以异乎寻常的高数字突然传播引起了警报。世界卫生组织召开紧急会议讨论疫情。

In India, the Union health ministry has directed the National Centre for Disease Control and Indian Council of Medical Research to keep a close watch on the outbreak. Also, if cases continue to increase, the government could start random screening of people arriving from the affected nations.

在印度，联邦卫生部已指示国家疾病控制中心和印度医学研究委员会密切关注疫情的爆发。此外，如果病例继续增加，政府可能开始对来自受影响国家的人进行随机筛查。

“There is no need to panic. The infection potential of monkeypox is markedly less besides being a self-limiting infection,” assured Dr Kabir Sardana, professor of dermatology, Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. “Since the smallpox vaccination works against it, it can be immunologically surmised that a certain population in India might be immune to monkeypox.”

“没有必要恐慌。猴痘除了是一种自限性感染外，感染的可能性明显较小，”Ram Manohar Lohia医院皮肤科教授Kabir Sardana博士称，“既然天花疫苗对猴痘起作用，免疫学上可以推测印度的某些人群可能对猴痘免疫。”

Dr Pooja Khosla, senior consultant, internal medicine, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, advised caution, however, saying chances of monkeypox reaching India couldn’t be ruled out.

然而，Ganga Ram医院内科高级顾问Pooja Khosla医生建议谨慎，称不能排除猴痘蔓延到印度的可能性。

Monkeypox causes symptoms similar to that of smallpox. The initial signs include fever, intense headache, swelling of the lymph nodes, back pain, muscle ache and lack of energy. In many patients, skin eruption is also seen.

猴痘的症状与天花相似。最初的症状包括发烧、剧烈头痛、淋巴结肿大、背部疼痛、肌肉疼痛和精力不足。在许多病例中，也可以看到皮疹。

According to Dr Ankita Baidya, consultant, infectious diseases, Manipal Hospital, Dwarka, the symptoms usually subside in two to four weeks. “Complications are rare and seen mainly in children and those with weak immunity,” Baidya said.

据德瓦尔卡马尼帕尔医院传染病顾问Ankita Baidya医生说，症状通常在两至四周内消退。“并发症很少见，主要见于儿童和免疫力低下的人群，”Baidya说。

According to WHO, an antiviral agent developed for the treatment of smallpox has also been licensed for the treatment of monkeypox. Otherwise, in most cases, patient condition improves with symptomatic management.

据世卫组织称，一种用于治疗天花的抗病毒药物也已获准用于治疗猴痘。在大多数情况下，患者的病情通过症状管理得到改善。

Don't worry, nobody is coming to India, in a country, where prices of everything are now equal to Europe, due to inflation. Flights to India are 1 Lakh Rupees, tax expensive, hotel expensive, food expensive. Jai Fakira Manki baat.

别担心，没有人会来印度，在这个国家，由于通货膨胀，所有东西的价格都和欧洲一样。来印度的机票要10万卢比，出租车贵，酒店贵，食物也贵。
