This review aims to compile the available literature on monkeypox, identify risk factors for developing the disease, and recommend effective preventative methods to reduce the number of reported cases and fatalities in children and pregnant women. In seeking out pertinent studies on monkeypox virus in children and pregnant women, we searched the literature using the databases Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus up to 1st February 2023. This study analyzed data from case studies of monkeypox in children and pregnant women. Clinical data and test findings of monkeypox patients less than 18 years old and pregnant women were analyzed. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to do the quality evaluation. Our record examination spanned the years 1985 to 2023 and found 17 children and five pregnant female patients treated with monkeypox in various hospitals/community centers. Zaire, Gabon, Chicago, Sierra Leone, Central African Republic, Northern DR Congo, Liberia, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Florida all contributed to the 14 studies analyzed. There were no studies identified for meta-analysis of selected case studies of hospitalized children and pregnant women who were diagnosed with monkeypox. The incidence, prevalence, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, management, prevention, vaccinations, infant care, and care for expectant mothers are all discussed in this systematic review of monkeypox in children. Our research findings may provide a foundation for further focused research and the development of related recommendations or guidelines.
本综述旨在汇编有关猴痘的现有文献，确定该疾病的危险因素，并推荐有效的预防方法，以减少儿童和孕妇中报告的病例数和死亡人数。在寻找有关儿童和孕妇猴痘病毒的相关研究时，我们使用Cochrane图书馆、谷歌学术、PubMed、EMBASE、科学网和Scopus数据库检索了截至2023年2月1日的文献。本研究分析了儿童和孕妇猴痘病例研究的数据。分析了18岁以下猴痘患者和孕妇的临床数据及检测结果。采用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表进行质量评估。我们的文献检索跨度为1985年至2023年，发现17名儿童和5名孕妇在不同医院/社区中心接受了猴痘治疗。扎伊尔、加蓬、芝加哥、塞拉利昂、中非共和国、刚果民主共和国北部、利比里亚、喀麦隆、刚果民主共和国、英国、荷兰和佛罗里达州都为所分析的14项研究提供了数据。未发现对确诊为猴痘的住院儿童和孕妇的选定病例研究进行荟萃分析的研究。本儿童猴痘系统综述讨论了发病率、患病率、临床特征、诊断、管理、预防、疫苗接种、婴儿护理和对孕妇的护理。我们的研究结果可能为进一步的针对性研究以及相关建议或指南的制定提供基础。
