          Two cases of monkeypox confirmed in Berlin – preparations in Berlin have been made



          Press release from 05/21/2022
          Two cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in Berlin. However, it can be assumed that further infections may be registered in the next few days. The condition of the patients is stable. Investigations into contacts are ongoing. They are informed and informed about possible symptoms, hygiene measures and transmission routes. Ongoing sequencing will reveal whether it is the West or Central African virus strain.
          Health Senator Ulrike Gote : "We are in close contact with the health authorities, the RKI , the Charité and the Federal Ministry of Health in order to protect the Berlin population from the monkeypox virus as best as possible. There is no need to panic but caution as much scientific knowledge about the disease is still preliminary due to its so rare nature. However, experts assume that we do not have to fear a new pandemic. But we now have to act quickly and consistently to identify and contain cases of infection.”
          Univ.-Prof. dr medical Leif Erik Sander, Director of Infectious Diseases at the Charité: “The dynamics of the current monkeypox outbreak are unusual and must therefore be taken very seriously until the chains of infection and transmission routes are better characterized and effectively broken. So far we have observed a disproportionate increase in monkeypox infections among men, especially after sexual contact with other men. Since the infection is transmitted through close skin contact and possibly also through mucous membrane contact and droplets, I currently recommend particular caution and avoidance of close unprotected contact with unknown persons. Contacts should be limited and medical treatment should be sought quickly, particularly if there are typical symptoms of the disease. The Charité is prepared for the treatment of infected people and works closely with the RKIand the public health service together.”
          Monkeypox is a rare viral disease caused by the monkeypox virus. Since the beginning of May 2022, the virus has been spreading from person to person in Europe for the first time without an epidemiological connection to West or Central Africa.
          According to current scientific knowledge, the virus spreads less easily from person to person than Sars-CoV-2. According to current knowledge, close physical contact is required for transmission, which is why the RKI assumes that the outbreaks will remain limited. According to current knowledge , the risk to the health of the general population is therefore considered to be low by the RKI . Nevertheless, it must be expected that there will be further cases.
          Initial symptoms of monkeypox include fever, headache, muscle and back pain, and swollen lymph nodes, as well as a rash that often starts on the face and then spreads to other parts of the body. Most infected people recover from the disease within a few weeks, and death is rare. If you have the symptoms mentioned above, please go to the doctor quickly and wear an FFP2 protective mask as a precaution.
          Since the infection probably occurs via contact with the mucous membranes, close physical/sexual contact with different people or strangers should be avoided as far as possible. In any case, the rules of "safer sex" such as the use of condoms should be observed. More information can be found, for example, at www.liebesleben.de/fuer-alle/safer-sex-und-schutz/ . If you suspect that you are in contact with someone who is sick, please contact your district health department and stay at home, limit your contacts and avoid close physical contact with other people.

                Germany reports 80 cases of monkeypox
                In Germany, 80 cases of monkeypox have been confirmed and reported, according to data released by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
                Deutsche Welle 7/6/2022 08:46

                The government's infectious disease control agency in Germany said on its website that the 80 German cases of monkeypox were reported from nine federal states. Last Friday, the number of cases registered by the RKI was 65. "As far as is known, most of those affected do not get seriously ill," the entity said.

                Spotlight on Berlin

                In Germany the number of cases is especially high in Berlin. According to the latest available data, of the 48 cases registered in the capital, eleven had to be hospitalized.

                Shortly after the first cases were detected in Germany, a report from the Ministry of Health warned that parties "where sexual acts are performed" are considered places of exposure to the virus.

                "Since the infection probably occurs through contact with mucous membranes, sexual contact with different people or with unknown people should also be avoided as a precautionary measure," the Berlin health administration advised. Safer sex rules, such as the use of condoms , should be followed, she said...

                    News Agency of Nigeria • June 8, 2022

                    About three weeks after the first detection of monkey pox in Germany, the number of infections recorded at the nation’s disease control body the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has risen to 113.

                    “All cases in Germany reported to the RKI are men,’’ a spokeswoman for the institute said on Wednesday in response to a query.

                    On Tuesday, the RKI was aware of 80 cases nationwide.

                    A large proportion of the reported infections were in the capital, as of Tuesday evening, the Berlin health administration reported 72 people affected, 13 of whom were being treated in hospital.

                    According to previous data, Germany seemed to be one of the European countries with a particularly high number of cases of the virus, along with countries such as Britain, Spain and Portugal...

                        International monkeypox outbreak: number of cases and assessment of the situation in Germany


                        Status: June 21, 2022

                        Cases of monkeypox were first identified in Germany in May 2022. As of June 21, 2022, there are 469 monkeypox cases from 14 federal states (Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Hamburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein, Thuringia) been sent to the RKI. These cases are related to other monkeypox cases that have been reported in various countries outside Africa since May 2022. What is special about these cases is that those affected had not traveled to African countries where the virus is endemic (West and Central Africa), as they had in the past, and that many transmissions apparently took place in the context of sexual activities (currently especially in men, who had sexual contact with other men). As far as is known, most of those affected do not become seriously ill. Further cases are to be expected in Germany. According to current knowledge, close contact is required for transmission of the pathogen. It still seems possible to limit the current outbreak in Germany if infections are recognized in good time and precautionary measures implemented. Information on symptoms, transmission routes and protection options ( if infections are recognized in good time and precautionary measures are implemented. Information on symptoms, transmission routes and protection options ( if infections are recognized in good time and precautionary measures are implemented. Information on symptoms, transmission routes and protection options (including the possibility of vaccination) are therefore essential. Physicians should also include monkeypox in the extended differential diagnostic considerations in people with no known travel history to endemic areas (West and Central Africa) with unclear smallpox-like skin lesions (in differentiation from chickenpox , etc. ) or lesions.

                        According to current knowledge, the RKI assesses the risk to the health of the general population in Germany as low. The RKI continues to monitor the situation very closely and adjusts its assessment to the current state of knowledge.

                        The RKI provides various recommendations at www.rki.de/affenpocken , including an orientation guide for doctors on suspected clarification and measures to be taken in the case of monkeypox ( flow chart ), recommendations on how to deal with infected people and contact persons , and information on diagnostics and therapy.

                        Comprehensive information on monkeypox, including occurrence, routes of infection and diagnostics, can be found in the FAQ on monkeypox ( www.rki.de/affenpocken-faq ).
