onthedarkside Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 A new study in BMJ suggests that a substantial proportion of monkeypox cases—53%— in the ongoing global outbreak are transmitted 1 to 4 days before symptoms appear. Since this spring, 70,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported in hundreds of countries around the world, most with no history of the disease. Sexual activity between men who have sex with men (MSM) has driven the outbreak, and the study authors say these new findings have important implications for infection control. The study is based on the contact tracing and surveillance findings of 2,746 UK residents who tested positive for monkeypox virus between May 6 and Aug 1, 2022. Ninety-five percent were MSM, and the average age was 37.8 years old.
