India has confirmed 9 monkey pox (MPXV) cases by the time this editorial is being written. The size of the outbreak clusters is growing each day, as is the geographical spread across international borders. More interestingly it is being recognized as a potent sexually transmitted infection (STI) as it is attributed to close contact with lesions, with no intention of stigmatizing it. This zoonotic virus has a low level of endemicity since decades in west and central Africa, its place of origin. Now since it has spread to 75 countries and more joining, with over 25,539 plus cases, WHO declared it a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) on July 23, 2022.
截至本社论撰写之时，印度已确诊 9 例猴痘 (MPXV) 病例。每天，疫情集群的规模都在扩大，国际边界的地理传播范围也在扩大。更有趣的是，它被认为是一种强大的性传播感染 (STI)，因为它归因于与病变的密切接触，而不是有意污名化它。自几十年前在其起源地西非和中非流行以来，这种人畜共患病毒的地方性流行程度较低。现在，由于它已经传播到 75 个国家和更多的国家，加上超过 25539 例病例，世界卫生组织于 2022 年 7 月 23 日宣布其为国际关注的公共卫生紧急事件 (PHEIC)。
