Three cases of monkeypox reported in a Var campsite
Published on08/11/2022 at 7:11 p.m.
Written by Sarah Dumeau
The people, who belong to the same family, were isolated and left the campsite. This situation no longer presents a risk and does not require other residents of the campsite to leave the premises.
Three cases of monkey pox were reported on Wednesday August 10 in a campsite in the Var, of which the ARS did not wish to give the exact location " to avoid stigmatization ".
The contamination of these people was prior to their arrival at the campsite. “ The family had no close and prolonged contact with other vacationers or with the campsite staff ” during their stay which lasted from August 6 to 11, specifies the ARS in a press release released on August 11.
Even if the family used the campsite facilities (toilets and showers), " outside the family home, the risk of transmission is very low ", explains the health agency. By specifying that " the regular cleaning of the premises makes it possible to limit the risks ".
Therefore, this situation does not justify the isolation or vaccination of the staff and residents of the campsite, according to the ARS.
The state of health of the family does not present any concern.
Monitor for symptoms
As a precaution, hygiene measures are reinforced within the campsite and information is disseminated there for holidaymakers and staff. They are urged to monitor their condition over the next few days and get tested if they show symptoms.
As a reminder, the first symptoms are fever, muscle pain, fatigue and possible swelling of the glands.
In a second period, skin and mucous membrane lesions may appear all over the body. The genital, anal and oral areas are more often affected, with lesions sometimes appearing before lymph node involvement, fever, malaise and pain associated with lesions, WHO said.

Case of Monkeypox in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
Press release
August 11, 2022
3 cases of Monkeypox were reported on Wednesday August 10 in a family staying in a campsite in a town in the Var. This is an intra-family contamination prior to the arrival of these people on the campsite. They were isolated and left the scene. The state of health of this family does not inspire concern.
According to the investigations carried out by the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Regional Health Agency, the family had no close and prolonged contact during their stay of a few days in the campsite (from August 6 to 11). with other holidaymakers or with the campsite staff.
The family used the campsite facilities (toilets, showers), however, outside the family home, the risk of transmission via surfaces is very low. The usual hygiene measures such as regular cleaning of the premises and washing of hands can reduce/limit the risk of contamination.
This situation does not therefore justify the isolation or vaccination of the staff and residents of the campsite.
As a precaution, hygiene measures are currently reinforced within the campsite and information is disseminated to people - holidaymakers and staff -. They are invited to monitor their state of health in the coming days and to consult a doctor in the event of the appearance of suggestive symptoms (fever, headaches, lymph nodes, muscle pain, rashes), with, if necessary, access to a diagnostic test if necessary.
The ARS Paca is mobilized alongside the campsite manager to keep its staff and holidaymakers well informed and to provide an on-site response to any questions that may arise.
Monkeypox is an infectious disease which is characterized in particular by a rash which can be isolated or preceded or accompanied by fever or lymph nodes. The virus can be transmitted by:- direct contact with skin lesions (vesicles or scabs) or with mucous membranes (oral, genital, conjunctival) during close physical contact with an infected person;
- indirect contact by sharing linen (clothes, sheets, towels, etc.), toilet utensils (toothbrushes, razors, etc.), dishes, injection equipment, etc. with the infected person;
- respiratory droplets during direct and prolonged face-to-face contact with the infected person.

Case of monkeypox: update on August 16, 2022
Update on 08/16/22 following the cases of monkey pox (Monkeypox) reported in France and around the world. The next update of this report will take place on Friday, August 19, 2022.
Posted on August 17, 2022
...Update in France
As of August 16, 2022 at 12:00 p.m., 2,749 confirmed cases have been identified in France.
The distribution of cases by region of residence (or by reporting region when the region of residence is unknown) is presented in Figure 1. The Ile-de-France region concentrates the largest number of cases (1,642 or 60%), followed by Occitania (244 cases) and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (213 cases). Ten cases reside abroad.
For 747 cases (27%) the region of residence was not known and was replaced by the reporting region.
The distribution of cases by symptom onset date (when known) is shown in Figure 2. The case symptom onset date ranges from May 7, 2022 to August 10, 2022. reporting deadlines, the data for the last few weeks are not consolidated.
The reports received do not always mention the date of onset of the symptoms. As an alternative to this information, the distribution of cases according to their date of reporting is presented in Figure 3.
The reporting low observed in week 28 (July 11 to 17) can be explained by the public holiday (July 14).
All the cases identified to date are male adults, except 29 female adults (i.e. 1.1% of women) and 4 children under 15 years old. Adult cases have a median age of 36; 25% of adult cases are under 30 years old and 25% are 43 to 77 years old.
Of the cases for which information is available at the time of reporting, 53 (3%) are known to have been hospitalized due to Monkeypox virus infection.
In France, no deaths have been reported to date.

Characteristics of cases that may have been the subject of an investigation
Since the characteristics of confirmed cases in men have been stable for several weeks, epidemiological investigations will now focus on female, pediatric and atypical cases. Therefore, information on symptomatology and case profiles will no longer be updated. The information presented below is based on investigations carried out up to 08/08/2022.
Among the cases investigated, 75% presented a genito-anal rash, 70% an eruption on another part of the body, 76% a fever and 72% lymphadenopathy. Among the cases investigated, 74 are immunocompromised (5.1% of the cases having responded); 385 are HIV positive (i.e. 25% of cases knowing their HIV status). Among non-HIV carriers, 701 are on pre-exposure prophylaxis or “PrEP”* (i.e. 64% of non-HIV carriers who answered the question).
To date, in France, 95% of cases for which sexual orientation is given have occurred in men who have sex with men (MSM).
Among the cases for which information is available, 71% declare having had at least 2 sexual partners in the 3 weeks before the onset of symptoms.
Most of the cases questioned declare that they cannot identify the person who allegedly infected them; 24% are secondary cases, ie they report having been in contact with a
case of monkeypox in the three weeks preceding the onset of symptoms.
*PrEP is an HIV preventive treatment for people who do not have HIV and are particularly at risk.

Case of monkeypox: update on August 18, 2022
Update on 08/18/22 following the cases of monkey pox (Monkeypox) reported in France and around the world.
Posted on August 19, 2022
...
Epidemiological surveillance that adapts to changes in knowledge and diagnostic practices
Surveillance was initially based in France and internationally on the confirmation of cases by biological examination (PCR). As the epidemic progressed and knowledge of the symptomatology of cases was accumulated, clinicians no longer systematically resorted to laboratory diagnosis for clinically suggestive cases for which a risky exposure or contact with a case confirmed (by PCR) was documented.
In order to better interpret epidemiological trends, the Agency is adapting surveillance to extend it to all cases and no longer be limited to biologically confirmed cases. This change makes it possible to better describe the reality on the ground, quantify the impact of the epidemic, and take into account changes in diagnostic practices by clinicians.
As a reminder, Monkeypox virus infections (whether the cases are biologically confirmed or clinically suggestive with risky exposure) must be the subject of a mandatory declaration (Orthopoxvirus sheet including smallpox) allowing the feedback of information to the Regional Health Agency, then Public Health France as part of surveillance.
To date, only biologically confirmed cases must be transmitted at European level .
The new indicators should be published next week after a necessary verification period to ensure their robustness and reliability.
Update in France
As of August 18, 2022 at 12:00 p.m., 2,889 confirmed cases have been identified in France. The breakdown of cases by region of residence (or by reporting region when the region of residence is unknown) is as follows: 1,692 cases in Ile-de-France, 251 in Occitanie, 217 in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 203 in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 140 in Hauts-de-France, 113 in New Aquitaine, 76 in Grand Est, 58 in Pays-de-la-Loire, 32 in Normandy, 31 in Brittany, 29 in Burgundy- Franche-Comté, 27 in Centre-Val de Loire. For Martinique, Corsica, Guadeloupe and Saint-Martin, each of these regions had less than 5 cases. Twelve cases reside abroad.
All cases identified to date are adult males, except 34 adult females and 7 children. Adult cases have a median age of 36; 25% of adult cases are under 30 years old and 25% are 43 to 77 years old.
The distribution of cases according to the date of onset of symptoms (when this is known) is presented in Figure 1. Given the reporting delays, the data for the last few weeks are not consolidated. The reports received do not always mention the date of onset of the symptoms. As an alternative to this information, the distribution of cases according to their date of reporting is presented in Figure 2.
The reporting low observed in week 28 (July 11 to 17) can be explained by the public holiday (July 14).

Information and prevention actions
Given what has been observed in Europe on the disease, targeted communication was quickly implemented towards MSM people. The sexosafe.fr site , dedicated to the sexuality of MSM people, is regularly updated with a summary of knowledge on the subject and preventive measures. Poster, radio and digital campaigns provide information to people in addition to actions in the field. Since June 17, the digital campaign has generated nearly 689,463 clicks on the banners and more than 599,065 visits to the Sexosafe site.
All information on vaccination is updated every week on the page intended for the general public and that intended for health professionals (accessible without login) of the vaccination-info-service site .
Prevention actions are continuously adapted to the evolution of the situation and the state of knowledge.To facilitate access to information for vulnerable people in precarious situations, a pictorial tool, translated into 6 languages, developed with professionals working with these people is available on Sante Publique France.- Monkeypox file (space accessible to all)
Monkeypox info service: a listening device to answer questions about monkeypox
Since Wednesday, July 13, a listening device has been open to answer questions raised by monkeypox. Subsidized by Public Health France and carried by SIS Association, the “Monkeypox info service” telephone line is accessible every day from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., on the toll-free number 0 801 90 80 69 (free, anonymous and confidential call and services). This system is in charge of accompanying prevention messages and protective measures, of providing information on symptoms, treatments and vaccination, of advising and of directing people to treatment systems.
Since the line opened, 6,133 interviews have been carried out on Monkeypox info service .

Case of monkeypox: update on August 23, 2022
Update on 23/08/22 following the cases of monkey pox (Monkeypox in English) reported in France and around the world. The next update of this report will take place on August 31, 2022.

Update in France
As of August 23, 2022 at 6:00 p.m., 3,421 biologically confirmed cases have been identified in France.
As part of its regular approach to checking the quality of the indicators, the Agency has identified 350 cases not yet entered in the databases since the last report published on the agency's website on Thursday 18/08. The total number of confirmed cases published today therefore includes catch-up data which should not be interpreted as an exceptional increase in the number of cases. Spread over time, this catch-up does not change the trends observed. It has no impact on patient information and care.
The distribution of confirmed cases by region of residence (or by reporting region when the region of residence is unknown) is presented in Figure 1. The Ile-de-France region concentrates the largest number of cases (2,110, or 62% ), followed by Occitania (277 cases), Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (231 cases) and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (212 cases). 19 cases reside abroad.
For 1,005 confirmed cases (29.3%), the region of residence was not known and was replaced by the region of reporting. The vast majority of confirmed cases identified to date are adult males (1.4% female). Eight children under the age of 15 were declared. Adult cases have a median age of 36; 25% of adult cases are under 30 years old and 25% are 43 to 77 years old. Among the cases for which information is available at the time of notification, 65 (3%) are known to have been hospitalized because of their Monkeypox virus infection.
In France, no deaths have been reported to date.
The main characteristics of 39 confirmed cases in women are as follows: their median age is 27 years (extremes between 18 and 61 years). They are mainly domiciled in Ile-de-France.
The circumstances of contamination of these women are difficult to understand. Among the 22 women for whom information is available, 5 reported having frequented a person infected with monkeypox in the 3 weeks preceding the onset of symptoms. This contact took place in the family home or the place of living (cohabitation with a member of the family or the spouse). Two women declared a profession likely to expose them to the virus (health professional and hotel trade).
For the others, the interview data did not identify a presumed mode of contamination.
The distribution of confirmed cases by symptom onset date (when known) is shown in Figure 2. Case symptom onset dates range from May 7, 2022 to August 18, 2022. reporting deadlines, the data for the last few weeks are not consolidated.
The reports received do not always mention the date of onset of the symptoms. As an alternative to this information, the distribution of cases according to their date of reporting is presented in Figure 3.
These data seem to show that the number of contaminations peaked at the end of June/beginning of July and that since then the number of cases has tended to decrease. However, we must remain very careful because the summer period could lead to delays in diagnosis and reporting. Similarly, some people may not have sought care. The other countries with which we trade, and in particular in Europe, have also observed a slowdown or even a decrease in the number of new cases declared in recent weeks. This trend will have to be confirmed in the weeks to come.

National situation on 09/01/2022 at 12 p.m.
As of 09/01/2022 at 12 p.m., 3,646 confirmed cases have been identified in France. The distribution of cases by region of residence (or by reporting region when the region of residence is unknown) is as follows: 2,236 in Île-de-France, 299 in Occitanie, 237 in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 231 in Provence -Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 174 in Hauts-de-France, 132 in New Aquitaine, 92 in Grand Est, 76 in Pays de la Loire, 39 in Normandy, 36 in Centre-Val de Loire, 34 in Brittany , 29 in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, 6 in Martinique. For Corsica, Guadeloupe, Mayotte and Saint-Martin, each of these regions had less than 5 cases. 20 cases reside abroad.
The vast majority of confirmed adult cases identified to date are male except 59 (1.6%) female cases. The number of cases reported in women is low (maximum 12 cases reported in week 34) but the proportion of confirmed female cases has increased over the last few weeks. Among the confirmed cases declared in week 34 (unconsolidated data) 7.5% are women (vs. 5.3% in week 33 and 2.9% in week 32). These data relate to a low number of cases, in a context of a decrease in the total number of confirmed cases for several weeks, they must therefore be interpreted with caution. Moreover, a difference in the use of biological diagnosis between men and women cannot be excluded. Adult cases have a median age of 36; 25% of adult cases are under 29 years old and 25% are 43 to 81 years old.
The distribution of cases according to the date of onset of symptoms (when this is known) is presented in figure 1. Given the reporting delays, the data for the last few weeks are not consolidated.

The vast majority of confirmed adult cases identified to date are male and 73 cases (1.9%) are female. Nine children under the age of 15 were declared. Adult cases have a median age of 36; 25% of adult cases are under 29 years old and 25% are 43 to 81 years old.
The distribution of cases according to the date of onset of symptoms (when this is known) is presented in figure 1. Given the reporting delays, the data for the last few weeks are not consolidated. The reports received do not always mention the date of onset of the symptoms. As an alternative to this information, the distribution of cases according to their date of reporting is presented in Figure 2.

Case of monkeypox: update on September 12, 2022
Update on 09/12/2022 following the cases of monkey pox ( Monkeypox in English) reported in France and around the world. The next update of this report will take place on September 15.
Posted on September 13, 2022
...Update in France
As of September 12, 2022 at 12:00 p.m., 3,833 confirmed cases have been identified in France, i.e. 112 additional cases since the assessment of September 6.
The distribution of confirmed cases by region of residence (or by reporting region when the region of residence is unknown) is presented in Figure 1. The Ile-de-France region concentrates the largest number of cases (2,332, or 61% ), followed by Occitania (308 cases), Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (264 cases) and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (246 cases); 20 cases reside abroad.
For 1,097 confirmed cases (29%), the region of residence was not known and was replaced by the region of reporting.
The vast majority of confirmed adult cases identified to date are male and 79 cases (2.1%) are female. The proportion of female cases has increased over the past few weeks. Among all confirmed cases declared in week 36 (unconsolidated data), 12.9% are women (compared to 5.7% in week 35 (according to consolidated data), 7.5% in week 34 and 5, 8% in week 33). But the number of confirmed cases reported in women remains low (maximum of 12 cases reported in week 34 and week 36), in a context of a decrease in the total number of confirmed cases for several weeks. These data should therefore be interpreted with caution.
Nine (0.2%) children under the age of 15 were reported as confirmed cases. Confirmed adult cases have a median age of 36; 25% of adult cases are under 29 years old and 25% are 43 to 81 years old.
Among the confirmed cases for which information is available, 81 (2.1%) were hospitalized because of their Monkeypox virus infection, this proportion remains stable over time.
No deaths have been reported to date.
The distribution of cases by symptom onset date (when known) is shown in Figure 2. The case symptom onset date ranges from May 7 to September 5, 2022. of declaration, the data of the last weeks are not consolidated. The reports received do not always mention the date of onset of the symptoms. As an alternative to this information, the distribution of cases according to their date of reporting is presented in Figure 3.
These updated data suggest that the peak of contamination took place at the end of June/beginning of July and that the number of confirmed cases has tended to decrease since then. However, we must remain cautious because the summer period may have led to delays in diagnosis and reporting. Similarly, some people may not have sought care. Several other countries, particularly in Europe, have also observed a slowdown or even a decrease in the number of new cases declared in recent weeks.

For 1,129 confirmed cases (29%), the region of residence was not known and was replaced by the region of reporting.
The vast majority of confirmed adult cases identified to date are male and 90 cases over the age of 15 (2.3%) are female. The proportion of female cases has increased over the past few weeks. Among all the confirmed cases declared in week 36, 13.9% are women and 10.4% in week 37 (unconsolidated data). This proportion was 5.7% in week 35, 7.5% in week 34 and 6.3% in week 33.

The vast majority of confirmed adult cases identified to date are male and 98 cases over the age of 15 (2.4%) are female. The proportion of female cases has increased over the last few weeks to reach 13.6% in W36; it then stabilized at 10.1% of confirmed cases declared in W37 and 9.1% in W38 and decreased in W39 to 5.9% (unconsolidated data). The number of confirmed cases reported in women remains low (with a maximum of 16 cases reported in week 36), in a context of a decrease in the total number of confirmed cases for several weeks.
Ten (0.25%) children under the age of 15 were reported as confirmed cases. Confirmed adult cases have a median age of 36; 25% of adult cases are under 29 years old and 25% are 43 to 81 years old.
Among the 10 children under 15 years old, 8 were under 6 years old and the sex ratio M/F in these children was 1 (5 boys and 5 girls). Contamination within the family home was strongly suspected for 4 of them (contact with a relative confirmed case), a pediatric case had contact with an informed but unspecified confirmed case and for the last 5 cases, the origin of contamination was not known. All the cases resided in Ile-de-France except two in the Grand-Est region.
Of the confirmed cases for which information is available, 90 (2.2%) were hospitalized due to infection with Monkeypox virus; this proportion remains stable over time.
No deaths have been reported to date.
The distribution of cases by symptom onset date (when known) is shown in Figure 2.

As an alternative to this information, the distribution of cases according to their date of reporting is presented in Figure 3.
These updated data show that the peak of contamination took place at the end of June/beginning of July and that the number of confirmed cases has since decreased.
However, we must remain cautious because improving knowledge of the disease can reduce the need for treatment by the best-informed populations. Several other countries, particularly in Europe, are seeing similar trends in the number of new cases reported over the past 3 months.
