We evaluated epidemiologic and molecular characteristics of monkeypox virus (MPXV) infections sampled from 2 healthcare nurses. Five days after collecting samples from an infected patient, the nurses showed typical MPXV manifestations; quantitative PCR and whole-genome sequencing confirmed MPXV infection, most likely transmitted through contact with fomites.
我们评估了从 2 名医护人员中采集的猴痘病毒(MPXV)感染的流行病学和分子特征。在从感染患者采集样本 5 天后,这 2 名护士出现了典型的 MPXV 表现;定量 PCR 和全基因组测序证实了 MPXV 感染,最有可能通过接触污染物传播。
