Early in June 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced yet another unique infectious disease outbreak, the first evidence of community-acquired monkeypox in the United States. By July 8, 2003, a total of 71 cases had been reported to CDC from 6 states. When emerging infectious diseases are reported in the United States, particularly when these reports receive widespread media attention, obstetrician-gynecologists may be called upon to rapidly respond to queries from their patients and to address certain infectious disease risks within their clinical practices. In addition, obstetrician-gynecologists may have specific concerns about the implications for an infectious disease outbreak, such as monkeypox, for pregnant women. Therefore, it is important that obstetrician-gynecologists know how to gather up-to-date and accurate information about infectious disease outbreaks and that they be familiar with the public health response system for responding to such outbreaks.
2003年6月初，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）宣布了又一起独特的传染病疫情，这是美国社区获得性猴痘的首例证据。截至2003年7月8日，6个州共向CDC报告了71例病例。在美国报告新发传染病时，尤其是这些报告受到媒体广泛关注时，妇产科医生可能会被要求迅速回应患者的询问，并在临床实践中应对某些传染病风险。此外，妇产科医生可能会特别关注传染病疫情（如猴痘）对孕妇的影响。因此，妇产科医生了解如何收集有关传染病疫情的最新准确信息，并熟悉应对此类疫情的公共卫生应对系统非常重要。
