Your doctor will collect a tissue sample from an open sore diagnosed with mpox. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is used in the laboratory to examine the sample. You may also need to provide a blood sample to test for the mpox virus or antibodies your immune system produces in response to it.

What are the mpox complications?

Complications of Mpox may include:

● Scars on the skin, rashes on arms, and legs are severe.
● Blindness
● Other diseases
● In rare cases, death

Clade II of the mpox virus, spreading in the 2022 outbreak, rarely causes death.

What is the mpox treatment?

Treatment for the majority of mpox patients is to relieve their symptoms. Care may include adequate fluid intake and pain management. If you have mpox, isolate yourself at home in a room away from family and pets until the rash and scabs heal.

There is no approved treatment for mpox. It may treat with some antiviral drugs. Care providers offer vaccinia immune globulin. This vaccine contains antibodies from people who have received the smallpox vaccine to those who are unlikely to respond to the vaccine.

How can the mpox virus be avoided?

A smallpox vaccine protects against mpox, but not effectively. Prevention relies on reducing human contact with infected animals and limiting person-to-person transmission. Avoiding contact with infected animals is the best way to help prevent the spread of the mpox virus. Here are some precautions:

● Avoid contacting contaminated bedding and other objects.
● All items containing animal meat or parts should be fully cooked.
● Wash your hand and face with soap and water frequently.
● Avoid contact with anyone who may have a virus.
● When having sex, utilize condoms and dental dams.
● Wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose when you’re around other individuals.
● Surfaces that are touched regularly should be cleaned and disinfected.
● When caring for people infected with the virus, wear personal protective equipment (PPE).

How do we take care of ourselves?

Here are some tips if you have mpox symptoms:

● Pain relievers and fever reducers can help you feel better. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are two medications that can help you feel better.
● Baths with oatmeal. A warm bath with colloidal oatmeal can help relieve dry skin and rashes.
● If you are infected, isolate yourself.
● Avoid contact with others until you are completely fine.
● Cover individual or localized lesions.
● Take good care of yourself. Stay at home and rest properly.
● Drink plenty of water. Cover your face with a mask.
● Avoid contact with animals.
