&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Symptoms of Mpox typically appear within &lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3 to 17 days&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; after exposure to the virus. The incubation period can vary, and some people may not show symptoms immediately.&amp;nbsp;During this time, a person may feel fine but can still spread the virus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;Symptoms of Mpox&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Common symptoms of Mpox include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rash&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Often starts on the face and spreads to other parts of the body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fever&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; A high temperature is common.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swollen Lymph Nodes&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Lymph nodes may become enlarged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fatigue&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Feeling extremely tired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Muscle Aches&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Pain in muscles and back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Headache&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Persistent headaches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sore Throat&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: Pain or irritation in the throat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Respiratory Symptoms&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Such as nasal congestion or cough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;Why is Mpox Testing Essential?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Mpox testing is crucial for several reasons:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Early Detection&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Identifying Mpox early helps in managing symptoms effectively and preventing complications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preventing Spread&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Knowing if you have Mpox allows you to take precautions to avoid spreading it to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High-Risk Groups&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Certain groups, such as children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals, are at higher risk of severe complications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Public Health&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Testing helps in tracking and controlling outbreaks, which is vital for public health efforts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;What To Do If You Test Positive For Monkeypox&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you receive a positive monkeypox test result, it&#39;s crucial to take swift action to safeguard yourself and others. Following the appropriate steps can help contain the spread and ensure you receive the necessary care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Notify Close Contacts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Immediately inform anyone you&#39;ve had close contact with in the past 21 days before symptoms appeared or before your positive test. This includes physical interactions, shared spaces, or sexual contact, so they can take the necessary precautions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;2. Isolation And Medical Referral&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Isolate yourself to prevent further transmission. Stay in isolation until all lesions are completely healed and adhere to healthcare provider recommendations. In severe cases, you might be referred for medical care or antiviral treatment, such as Tecovirimat (Tpox).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;3. Post-Exposure Vaccination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;ve been recently exposed to Mpox but haven&#39;t developed symptoms, getting vaccinated within 4 days of exposure can prevent the illness. Vaccination within 14 days might reduce symptoms, though it&#39;s less effective once symptoms have started.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;How we collect your sample&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Accurate Mpox testing is essential for timely diagnosis and effective public health responses. Proper specimen collection ensures reliable test results. Follow these steps and best practices to optimize sample integrity and accuracy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Preparation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, a gown, a mask, and eye protection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Ensure the specimen collection kit is complete and within expiration dates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Verify patient identity and obtain informed consent before proceeding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Specimen Collection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Use a sterile swab to collect lesion specimens, prioritizing vesicular or pustular lesions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Swab the lesion vigorously to collect adequate cellular material.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Collect samples from multiple lesions, if possible, to improve diagnostic accuracy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Place swabs in a dry, sterile tube or transport medium as specified by guidelines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Labeling and Documentation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Clearly label specimens with patient information, date, and time of collection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Complete all necessary documentation, including test requisition forms and clinical history.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Storage and Transport&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Store specimens at the recommended temperature (typically refrigerated or frozen, depending on guidelines).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Transport samples promptly to the testing laboratory, following biosafety and regulatory requirements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Infection Control and Disposal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Dispose of used materials properly in biohazard waste containers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Sanitize hands and disinfect surfaces after specimen collection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;By adhering to these steps and best practices, healthcare professionals can enhance the accuracy of Mpox diagnostics and contribute to effective disease surveillance and management.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 data-pm-slice=&quot;1 1 []&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Monkeypox&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: What is monkeypox?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;A:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Monkeypox is an infectious virus that causes mild symptoms. It belongs to the orthopoxvirus family, which is the same as the smallpox virus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: What are the STDs that are similar to Mpox?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) share symptoms with monkeypox, including &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/syphilis&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;syphilis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/herpes-genitalia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;herpes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/hpv-wart-treatment-bangkok&quot;&gt;genital warts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;. These infections can cause skin lesions, sores, and flu-like symptoms, making them sometimes difficult to distinguish from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/monkeypox-in-thailand&quot;&gt;monkeypox&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;without proper testing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How does monkeypox spread?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Monkeypox can spread in two main ways:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Animals to humans&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Direct contact with animals that bite or contact with bodily fluids (e.g., blood, pus, saliva) of infected animals can introduce the virus to humans. Eating uncooked infected meat is also a risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Humans to humans&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; Transmission occurs through direct contact with droplets from coughing or sneezing, as well as contact with rashes, pus, and other infectious bodily fluids, often from sharing items.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: What are the symptoms of monkeypox?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Symptoms typically appear 5-20 days after exposure. Early signs include fever, chills, body aches, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, and eye pain. After 4-5 days, red rashes or bumps begin to appear, which turn into fluid-filled vesicles. The severity of illness depends on the amount of exposure, but it tends to be non-life-threatening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How do doctors diagnose it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Diagnosis is based on symptoms, especially fever with pustules. Real-time PCR testing can identify the viral DNA within 24-48 hours, and DNA sequencing may be used for confirmation, which can take 4-7 more days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: What should we do if we have monkeypox?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;A:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The infected person should be isolated immediately, staying in a separate room and using a separate bathroom and personal items. Avoid contact with others, and do not scratch, peel, or pop the lesions to prevent scarring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Will monkeypox go away by itself?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Yes, monkeypox typically resolves on its own within 2-4 weeks. It is not life-threatening. Antiviral medications can help treat smallpox and monkeypox, though they are not always necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: How can we prevent monkeypox infection?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;A:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Preventive measures include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Wearing a mask.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Frequent handwashing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Prevent bites or scratches from animals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Do not share personal items.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Stay away from infected individuals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;Which animals can be reservoirs for monkeypox?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; While the virus is named after monkeys, many animals can carry monkeypox, especially rodents, squirrels, and rabbits. Any animal that can bite may be a potential carrier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q: Is there a vaccine for monkeypox?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Vaccines against smallpox also protect against monkeypox. People who were vaccinated against smallpox (typically older adults) are likely immune to monkeypox. However, individuals born after 1980 may not have received the smallpox vaccine, and monkeypox vaccines are still being developed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
