Two new cases of Mpox have been confirmed in Reunion, for a total of six since the beginning of the year

Smallpox B is spread primarily through close contact with people or through contaminated objects such as sheets, bedding, or tableware.It is recommended to quarantine for three weeks.

The Reunion Regional Health Agency (ARS) confirmed two new cases of smallpox B (mpox) in a press release on Wednesday, February 25, bringing the total number of cases reported on the island to six since the beginning of the year.Two new cases have already been identified on Monday.The fifth case relates to a person identified as a risk contact of the second imported case, which was confirmed on February 9.On the other hand, for the sixth case, "there is no prior history of recent travel to countries where smallpox is spreading and an epidemiological link to previously identified cases cannot be established", the ARS specifies.

As the virus spread in the Indian Ocean region, especially in Madagascar, on February 9, ARS La Réunion launched a preventive vaccination campaign for most groups (travelers going to places with active transmission and risk during their stay, people with multiple exposures, sex workers, health workers, immunocompromised people).Vaccinations are carried out by appointment at three vaccination centers on Reunion Island (CHU International Vaccination Centers) Nord and Sud, CEGIDD Ouest).The vaccination schedule involves two doses given four weeks apart, with protection considered to be achieved two weeks after the second injection.One dose is sufficient for people previously vaccinated against smallpox as children.

People are dying to get rid of all skin diseases.

Smallpox B (mpox) is an "infectious disease that initially manifests as a rash that may affect the face, anogenital region, palms, and soles of the feet. The lesions may extend to the entire body and mucous membranes, sometimes with itching."The rash may precede or accompany fever, headache, body aches, or lymphadenopathy (painful or swollen lymph nodes).Skin lesions heal completely.A person is contagious from the first appearance of symptoms until a three-week isolation period is recommended.

Transmission occurs mainly during close contact, through skin wounds of a sick person or through contaminated objects such as linens, bedding or dishes.It can also occur during sexual intercourse, including the use of a condom.Droplet transmission is described as “very marginal” and requires prolonged face-to-face contact without a mask.
