Israel detects its first monkeypox case in 2023

 

Israel

Israel’s Health Ministry announced on Thursday that it had discovered a case of the monkeypox virus for the first time in 2023. According to the Israeli health ministry, a man in his fifties who travelled from Portugal to Israel developed the ailment despite being immunized against the virus.

Vaccinated people may get the sickness if others around them have a high viral load, according to the health ministry. An epidemiological study indicated that no one else had contact with the man who was exposed to the monkeypox virus.

Anyone who had travelled abroad and returned home with a fever and a blistering rash was recommended to see a doctor by the health ministry. 

Most people are not at risk of the monkeypox virus, but males who have sex with other men, particularly those who travel to outbreak areas, or people who have several sexual partners, or people who attend huge parties or have sex at certain places, are at high risk.

The symptoms of the sickness, or monkeypox virus, are milder in vaccinated people than in unvaccinated people. As a result, it is critical to get vaccinated, especially during the summer and before travelling overseas. 

According to the epidemiological study, there were no other people who were in contact with the man and were exposed to the virus. Those who return from overseas or foreign countries with a fever and a blistering rash should see their personal physician and seek medical treatment, according to the Health Ministry.

According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the virus can enter into the body through broken skin, the respiratory tract, the eyes, the nose, and the mouth. 

The CDC also recommended the monkeypox vaccine for people who had close contact with someone who had monkeypox. 

Earlier, the US also reported deaths due to the monkeypox virus.
