Abstract

Mpox virus is known to be transmissible from the onset of clinical manifestations. We report the first case in Japan of a man who contracted mpox through close contact with an individual with pre-symptomatic infection. Given that transmission before symptom onset has recently been reported from various countries, the importance of prophylaxis for reducing the risk of infection and controlling the disease should be emphasized.

摘要

已知猴痘病毒在出现临床症状时即可传播。我们报告了日本首例通过与有症状前感染个体密切接触而感染猴痘的病例。鉴于最近有多个国家报告了症状出现前的传播情况，应强调预防措施对于降低感染风险和控制疾病的重要性。
