Abstract:
The first global outbreak of monkeypox in non-epidemic regions occurred in May 2022, and the World Health Organization defined it as a public health emergency of international concern in July 2022. Compared with previous outbreaks of monkeypox in Africa, the current one is different in etiology, epidemiology and clinical characteristics. This article reviews the features of the latest outbreak of monkeypox, and the currently available antiviral treatment and vaccines, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of monkeypox.
