Health officials announced the first probable case of monkeypox
in Rhode Island on Thursday morning.
The case is believed to be related to travel to Massachusetts,
health officials said. No additional positive cases have been
detected in Rhode Island.
The case is in a man in his 30s who lives in Providence County,
the Rhode Island Department of Health said. The man tested
positive for an orthopox virus, and confirmation for monkeypox
is pending testing at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
The man is not hospitalized and is in good condition.
Massachusetts has reported just one confirmed case so far, while
no other cases have been reported in any of the other New
England states.
Health officials said they are conducting contact tracing to
identify individuals who might have been exposed to the patient
while he was infectious. All contacts will be monitored by the
state Department of Health for three weeks after their last day
of exposure.
To protect patient privacy, health officials no further
information about the patient will be released.
“While monkeypox is certainly a concern, the risk to Rhode
Islanders remains low – even with this finding. Monkeypox is a
known – and remains an exceedingly uncommon – disease in the
United States. Fortunately, there is a vaccine for monkeypox
that can be given before or after exposure to help prevent
infection,” said Interim Health Director Dr. James McDonald.
“RIDOH continues to engage in active case finding and we have
been communicating the latest information with healthcare
providers so that they have the information they need to help us
‘identify, isolate, and inform.'"
Monkeypox is not known to spread easily among humans;
transmission generally does not occur through casual contact.
Human-to-human transmission occurs primarily through direct
contact with body fluids, including the rash caused by
monkeypox. Transmission might also occur through prolonged,
close, face-to-face contact.
The time from someone becoming infected to showing symptoms for
monkeypox is usually 7 to 14 days but can range from 5 to 21
days. Infected people are not contagious before they show
symptoms.
Symptoms of monkeypox include fever, headache, muscle aches,
exhaustion, and swollen lymph nodes. Infected people develop a
rash, often beginning on the face then spreading to other parts
of the body, that turns into fluid-filled bumps. These pox
lesions eventually dry up, scab over, and fall off. The illness
typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks.
Currently, there is no proven, safe treatment for monkeypox,
though the limited evidence available indicates that smallpox
treatments may be useful. Most people recover with no treatment.
Anyone who has symptoms of monkeypox should call their
healthcare provider before going to the office for an
appointment. Let them know you are concerned about possible
monkeypox infection so they can take precautions to ensure that
others are not exposed.
For a complete list of confirmed monkeypox cases by state in the
U.S., visit the CDC's website.
Lock all the faggots up.
