Monkeypox is suspected to be transmitted through breast milk, mothers are advised to take a break from breastfeeding when infected

Monkeypox that previously appeared can occur in all age categories, including children. But what is happening now, monkeypox is more commonly detected in adults.

“Actually there are differences in the clinical picture that we can find from the case reports of monkeypox found in Africa with the last three months starting to spread,” said Robert.

Robert explained, monkeypox that had been found in the past could infect many ages, ranging from children, women, and men. Usually, the symptoms of monkeypox that appear at that time are in the form of a red plain, protruding, filled with fluid, and finally it will scab and release.

Meanwhile, the lesions found in monkeypox this time were more localized and did not always spread throughout the body as they did in the past.

“Usually it’s around the mouth, genitals, or around the anal canal. So in the report it’s localize. The number of lesions is also 50 percent, it’s just five to 10, so it doesn’t spread from the whole top to the feet,” said Robert.
