Jakarta –

Mpox or monkey pox has been widely discussed recently because the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the disease as a global public health emergency for the second time. In Indonesia 88 Mpox cases were recorded as of Saturday (17/8/2024).

Of the total, 87 cases were declared cured. If we look at the weekly trend of confirmed Mpox cases in Indonesia from 2022 to 2024, the period with the most cases occurred in October 2023.

The Acting Director General for Disease Prevention and Control (P2P) of the Indonesian Ministry of Health, Dr. Yudhi Pramono, MARS, said that of the 88 confirmed cases, 54 cases met the criteria for whole genome sequencing (WGS) to be performed to determine the virus mutation.

“Of these 54 cases, they are all Clade IIB variants. Most of Clade II spread the Mpox outbreak in 2022 so far with lower deaths and it has largely been transferred from sexual contact,” said Dr. Yudhi at a press conference on the Development of Mpox Cases in Indonesia, Sunday.

The following is the distribution of Mpox cases in Indonesia.

DKI Jakarta: 59 confirmed cases
West Java: 13 confirmed cases
Banten: 9 confirmed cases
East Java: 3 confirmed cases
Yogyakarta Special Region: 3 confirmed cases
Riau Islands: 1 confirmed case

There are two clades of Mpox viruses, namely Clade I originating from Central Africa (Congo Basin) with subclade 1a. Subclade 1a has a higher case fatality rate (CFR) than other clades and is transmitted through several modes of transmission. Meanwhile, subclade 1b is transmitted mainly from sexual contact with a CFR of 11 percent.

Compared to Clade I, Clade II comes from West Africa with subclades IIa and IIb with a CFR of 3.6 percent. Clade II has a low CFR with cases mostly originating from sexual contact during the 2022 outbreak.

Dr. Prasetyadi Mawardi, SPKK(K), from the Indonesian Association of Dermatology and Venereology Specialists (PERDOSKI) said that Mpox Clade I variants, both 1a and 1b, have not been found in Indonesia. From 2022 until now, the variant found in Indonesia is the Clade II variant.

“According to reflection, Clade I has a significantly higher mortality rate than Clade II, and then this variation is usually caused by close contact, not just sexual contact,” he said at the same event.

Before that, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared the mpox outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).

WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the reason his party had assigned the Mpox PHEIC status was because a new version of this viral disease was spreading in Africa.

“Mpox cases have been found in 13 African countries and a new form is spreading. This is the second time in two years that the organization has issued a warning about this disease,” he said in a press release that appeared on the official WHO website on Wednesday (14/8).

“In 2022 there will be 1 confirmed case, in 2023 there will be 73 confirmed cases, and in 2024 there will be 14 confirmed cases,” he continued.

Yudhi claims that Indonesia will increase its vigilance and preparedness to face the threat of Mpox spread.

Mpox is not the new Covid-19, says WHO

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 21, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The world already knows a lot about the mpoxso it cannot be considered “the new Covid,” said the director for Europe of the World Health Organization (OMS), Hans Kluge.

“He mpox is not the new Covid. Whether it is mpox clade I, which caused the current epidemic in central and eastern Africa, or mpox clade II, which caused the 2022 epidemic” worldwide, Kluge said at a press conference of UN agencies.

ttxx

“We already know a lot about clade II. We still have a lot to learn about clade I,” he said, stressing that “we know how to fight mpox,” formerly known as “monkeypox“.

ttxx

Given the increase in cases of mpox in Democratic Republic of the Congodue to the clade Ib subtype, which also affects Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, the WHO decided to declare a international public health emergency On August 14th, the highest alert level.

ttxx

The WHO had already taken such a decision in 2022, when an mpox epidemic, then caused by clade IIB subtype, spread across the world. The alert was lifted in May 2023.

The virus was discovered in 1958 in Denmarkin monkeys bred for research. In 1970, it was first detected in a human in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), with the spread of a clade I subtype, which was generally transmitted through contact with animals.

ttxx

According to Catherine Smallwood of the WHO’s European office, no animal-to-human transmission of clade Ib has been detected so far. “This appears to be a strain of the virus that circulates exclusively within the human population” and “is likely to be transmitted more efficiently between humans.”

ttxx

“We know that clade I is more dangerous than clade II,” added a WHO spokesman in Geneva, Tarik Jasarevic, but specialists are trying to find out if there is a real difference between clade Ia and clade Ib, in terms of severity.

“Mpox” virus in Berlin: Vaccination with hurdles

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 20, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

After the first “Mpox” case in Europe, the Stiko recommends vaccination for risk groups. In Berlin, this has so far been a complex process.

BERLIN taz | It’s that time again: On Wednesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global health emergency – the highest possible international alert level. The reason for this is a new, more contagious and more dangerous variant of the Mpox virus, which is currently raging primarily on the African continent.

On Thursday, the first European Mpox case of the virus variant 1b was diagnosed in Sweden. According to the Senate Health Administration, no cases of the new pathogen have been reported in Germany and Berlin. But the experience of the corona pandemic teaches us that it is only a matter of time before the virus reaches the capital. Health Senator Ina Czyborra (SPD) also knows this: “We are monitoring the situation very closely and are preparing appropriate measures,” she announced on Friday.

One risk group for the viral disease, which is usually transmitted through close skin contact and sex, are men who have sex with men. The Standing Committee on Vaccination (Stiko) recommends vaccination for these and other risk groups. In Berlin, however, those who want to be vaccinated have to be persistent. They must get a prescription from their doctor, buy the vaccine from the pharmacy at their own expense (around 200 euros), get vaccinated by the doctor and then apply for reimbursement from their health insurance company.

The reason for the payment wrangling is a lack of a vaccination agreement between the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KV) and the associations of health insurance companies. Until the end of 2023, the vaccination costs were covered by the state of Berlin as part of a cooperation agreement between the KV and the health administration. After that, the contract was canceled. Since then, the vaccinations have had to be billed through the statutory health insurance companies.

Global health emergency after Mpox outbreak 2022

The cooperation agreement came into force after the WHO declared a global health emergency in July 2022 due to the first global Mpox outbreak. In Berlin, 1,668 cases were reported in 2022. “We responded well to the situation at the time and quickly enabled vaccinations,” said Czyborra. The numbers fell after a broad vaccination campaign, with a total of 79 cases of the less dangerous Mpox variant 2b documented in 2023 and 33 so far in 2024.

Although the reimbursement, as a spokeswoman for taz emphasized, has so far worked “without problems,” “the Senate Health Administration is committed to ensuring that the outstanding contract is concluded soon.” In principle, Berlin has been sensitized since the outbreak of Mpox 2022 and can build on the experiences gained.

However, the queer commissioner Alfonso Pantisano (SPD) hopes “that Berlin is better prepared this time,” as he made public in a Facebook post. He called on the health senator to convene a short-term emergency meeting of the Mpox round table. Czyborra announced on Friday that he would “exchange views at a technical level with the institutions involved and agree on joint responses.”

Mpox can be spread through direct contact with animals or people infected with the measles virus. This virus is usually transmitted by rodents and primates, such as mice or monkeys. In addition, Mpox can be transmitted from animals to humans through the consumption of undercooked meat.

Meanwhile, for human-to-human transmission, Mpox can spread through face-to-face contact, skin-to-skin, mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-skin, and sexual contact. Mpox can also be spread when someone touches clothes, furniture and objects contaminated with the monkeypox virus.

This virus can also spread from pregnant women to the fetus, or through skin-to-skin contact during childbirth.

This is the second time that Mpox has been declared a global emergency after its status was raised in May 2023. The increase in cases in Africa is caused by the Clade I mutation At the same time, Mpox cases in Indonesia caused by Clade II.
