08/23/2022

Until August 22, 386 infections have been confirmed in 24 states of the country.
The death of a person from septic shock, acquired pneumonia and HIV infection could be the first death from monkeypox in Mexico.
Worldwide there have been 41 thousand 664 cases and 12 deaths.

The health situation around the world remains at a complicated time due to all the problems that occur at the same time. Only in our country today was a death announced that could be the first caused by monkeypox in Mexico.

All part of the official information published by the Ministry of Health (SSa). What it mentions is that until August 22, 386 infections have been confirmed in 24 states of the country.

The Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (InDRE) reported that the positive cases are distributed in: Mexico City, 209 infections; Jalisco, 69; State of Mexico, 21; Yucatan, 20; Quintana Roo, 12; Baja California, eight; Nuevo Leon, seven; Chiapas, five; Veracruz, five; Puebla, four; Tabasco, four; Morelos, three; Colima, two; Chihuahua, two; Guanajuato, two; Oaxaca, two; Queretaro, two; Sinaloa, two; Sound, two; Aguascalientes, one; Baja California Sur, one; Coahuila, one; Michoacán, one, and San Luis Potosí, one.
Characteristics of the patients

Of the total confirmed cases, 97 percent correspond to men and three percent to women. 47.2 percent of people are between 30 and 39 years old; that is, 182. Likewise, four are under 20 years old; 90, from 20 to 29; 81 between 40 and 49; 25 from 50 to 59; and four people, 60 years or older.

In detail, the Weekly Technical Report on Epidemiological Surveillance mentions that a total of 862 people who meet the operational definition of a probable case have been identified. Of that number there are 386 that have been confirmed, in addition to 172 under study and 304 ruled out by laboratory tests.
The first death from monkeypox in Mexico?

The same document adds that one person died of septic shock, acquired pneumonia and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. At the same time, when medical care was offered, it was identified that he had lesions compatible with monkeypox, and the test was positive.

Based on the above, the death is carefully analyzed by a group of experts in infectology to determine if there is a cause attributable to monkeypox virus infection.

It is still too early to say that the patient's death was directly caused by monkeypox, although some portals have already made the news official. The reality is that it is appropriate to wait until the results of the analyzes are obtained to be certain of the origin of death...

Mexico records 504 cases of monkeypox
The most recent report from the Ministry of Health details that in Mexico there are 504 confirmed cases of monkeypox, in 25 states
August 30, 2022

In Mexico there are 504 cases of monkeypox, reported the Ministry of Health.

As of August 29, the authorities identified 1,146 suspected infections, of which 504 were confirmed, 390 were ruled out, and 252 are still under study.

The confirmed cases come from 25 states. Mexico City adds 279 infections; followed by Jalisco with 84; State of Mexico with 31; Yucatan with 29 and Quintana Roo with 14.

97 percent of confirmed cases correspond to men and the remaining 3 percent to women. The age group most affected by the disease is 30 to 39 years.

The Ministry of Health recalls that monkeypox is transmitted by direct contact with the secretions of a sick person through mucous membranes or skin lesions, respiratory droplets and objects contaminated with body fluids. It lasts on average 21 days.

It can be prevented by avoiding direct physical contact with people who are sick or suspected of having the disease. Sexual contact is an activity that must be taken into account, since it is spread by very close contact between two or more people.

By Aristegui News
September 13, 2022

Mexico adds 1,051 cases of monkeypox in 30 states of the country until September 12, the Ministry of Health reported in a statement notifying that 98 percent of infections correspond to men and 2% to women.

In the Weekly Technical Report on Epidemiological Surveillance, the institution also reported that two people died during medical care and tested positive for monkeypox, presenting lesions compatible with the disease.

"These deaths are under analysis by a group of experts in infectious diseases, to determine if there is a cause attributable to monkeypox virus infection," says the report.

The Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (InDRE) reported that, of the positive cases, 606 infections are recorded in Mexico City. Similarly, the other entities that accumulate the highest number of cases of monkeypox are Jalisco with 156 infections and Yucatan with 59.

The other states where infections were reported are Quintana Roo with 28; Lower California, 10; Chiapas, 17; New Leon, 11; Veracruz, seven; Guanajuato, six; Nayarit, six; Sinaloa, five; Puebla, six; Tabasco, 13; Chihuahua, five; Morelos, six; Queretaro, four; Colima, two; Oaxaca, four; Sound, three; Aguascalientes, four.

While the entities that report fewer cases are Baja California Sur with one; Coahuila, two; Michoacan, two; Tamaulipas, two; San Luis Potosí, one; Campeche, two; Hidalgo, two; Zacatecas, one, and Guerrero, one.

Likewise, the health unit indicates that the disease is transmitted by direct physical contact between sick people and that sexual activity is a factor that must be taken into account, since the recent outbreak mainly affects men who have sex with men.

“There are practices that can increase the risk of infections, including monkeypox, such as: sex with unknown people, dark rooms or sex parties; this, due to the close contact between people during these activities,” says the institution's statement.

On the other hand, the unit asks to constantly wash personal items such as towels or sheets if caring for a family member with the disease and avoid approaching other people if they have symptoms.

It should be noted that activists and members of the LGBT+ community protested outside the Ministry of Health in Mexico City over the weekend to demand the vaccine and prompt response from the health authorities in the face of the increase in cases in the country.

Monkeypox has already spread throughout Mexico; Durango reported its first contagion
Despite the fact that no death from monkeypox has been registered in Mexican territory, the 32 entities have at least one positive case
October 13, 2022

Until last October 11, there was only one state free of monkeypox infections: Durango. However, the entity governed by Esteban Villegas Villarreal confirmed its first positive case, so that now all of Mexico has at least one infected patient.

It was thus that in less than five months monkeypox spread throughout the country, as it should be remembered that the first case was registered on May 28 in Mexico City, an entity that currently concentrates the highest number of infections (1,303) .

The case in Durango was announced on October 12 by the state Health Secretary, Irasema Kondo, who commented that, since the patient was reported as a suspect, he had been kept in home isolation under epidemiological surveillance.

The confirmation was carried out by the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (InDRE). "He is a patient of a health institution," detailed Kondo Padilla, while assuring that so far the patient has not presented complications and is stable.

However, no further information was given about the infected patient, so it is unknown if it is a man or a woman, his age, if he had previously traveled to other states of the Republic or abroad, or if he was in contact with other people with suspected cases.

According to the most recent report from the Ministry of Health, as of October 10, 2,147 accumulated infections had been confirmed in 31 states. As mentioned, CDMX is the one with the highest number of cases, followed by Jalisco (252), the State of Mexico (208), Yucatán (81) and Quintana Roo (51).

On the contrary, the entities with the lowest number of infections are Baja California Sur (1), San Luis Potosí (1), Tlaxcala (2) and Guerrero (2). No deaths from monkeypox have been reported in the country so far.

Regarding the distribution by sex, 98% of the infections correspond to men, the majority between 30 and 39 years old (close to 47.3% of the total, that is, 1,015 of the more than 2,000 confirmed).

Although monkeypox was first reported in a laboratory in Denmark more than 60 years ago (in 1958), it was not until July 23, 2022 that the World Health Organization (WHO) ) declared it a global emergency.

This is due to the spread of infections, since until October 6, 71,237 cases have been registered in 107 countries, as well as 26 deaths, such as in Cuba, the United States, Spain, Brazil, among others.

Given this scenario, the Mexican government has urged citizens to take the necessary precautionary measures to prevent the spread, among which are: avoiding physical contact with infected people, washing hands with soap and water, wearing face masks, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. contaminated, as well as avoid sharing food utensils or bedding.

It should be remembered that the mode of transmission is mainly through close contact with infected people (either through injuries or bodily fluids) or with contaminated objects (such as clothing or towels).

The main symptoms are: sudden fever greater than 38°C, headache, muscle aches, profound weakness, exhaustion and skin rashes, which first appear on the face and hands and then spread to the rest of the body.
