VIVA – Rare disease monkey pox has characteristics similar to smallpox in humans, although it is not so dangerous. The monkeypox virus is not seen very often but can cause fear to spread when it appears.
Reported from The SunPeople who get monkeypox usually don’t show symptoms for at least five days. But it can be up to 13 or even 21 days before the signs are obvious. This period is called the “incubation period”.
Infection causes two periods of illness. In the first phase, up to five days, the patient may suffer from:
– High temperature – 38C or more.
– Headache
– Muscle ache
– Back pain
– Swollen glands
– Chills
– Fatigue
In the second phase of the disease, the skin begins to break – usually within one to three days after fever. It has more visible symptoms that can be identified as monkeypox
– Stupid
– Spots
The monkeypox rash usually begins one to five days after the first symptoms appear, the NHS says. Freckles often appear on the face before spreading to other parts of the body. The rash mostly affects the face (95 percent of cases) and hands (75 percent), according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
