There are more than 12,000 cases of acne diagnosis in the United States

According to the US Broadcasting Corporation reported on the 16th, the latest case of a monkey acne discovered in the United States was a child in Harris County, Texas.

Harris County Judge Idalgo said at a press conference held on the 16th that how the child's infection was unknown, "I know this is a very, very worrying issue for parents, especially in school At the beginning of school, I learned that there were children in our community infected with monkey acne virus, which caused a lot of questions about how the virus spread. This makes people very worried. "

In addition to Texas, Florida, Maine, California, Indiana, and Washington Columbia Special Administrative Region also reported that children were diagnosed.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has previously warned that some preliminary evidence has shown that if monkey acne virus is infected, children, pregnant women, and low immune function under 8 years of age have the risk of more serious diseases.

As of August 16, data released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that there were more than 12,000 cases of acne in the United States, up to 12,689 cases.

US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Suspected of infection with monkey acne pets should be isolated

According to Bloomberg, US health institutions have recently said that pets that have been in contact with patients with acne to ensure that they will not spread viruses to others or animals.

According to the guidelines released by the American Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC) last week, because monkey acne can be spread closely through close contact, people who are positive should be careful when hugging or touching animals.

CDC stated in the guide that pets may also infected viruses through blankets or other home supplies used by patients. If pets seem to be infected, the owner should contact the veterinarian.

CDC said in a statement issued on its website on August 12, saying, "Pets close to patients with symptomatic monkey acne should be isolated for 21 days, away from other animals and people, and infected people should not take care of pets."

According to a report published in the medical magazine of "Liu Ye Dao" on August 10, a four -year -old Caddy was infected in his owner's symptoms nearly two weeks later. This is considered to be the first case of human dog transmission, and the CDC updated the guide.

According to Agence France -Presse, under the appeal of global medical experts, the World Health Organization announced on August 12 that a new name was collected to the public.

Why change a new name? The reason is that more and more people think that the name "monkey acne" is misleading. First of all, monkeys are not primitive animals. In addition, some scientists are worried that they will be stigmatized. Recently, there have been examples. After the spread of monkey acne epidemic, Brazil has poisoned monkeys because of panic.

Duozhou health officials criticize the government to respond to the poor epidemic of monkey acne

Health officials in many states in the United States have recently criticized the U.S. government's poor response to the epidemic of monkey acne because of the frequent problems with monkey acne vaccine distribution systems, and the people have been unable to vaccine.

Under normal circumstances, most vaccines, including the new crown vaccine, are distributed through the system of the American Disease Prevention and Control Center. The system can connect the database of the states to record the dosage of vaccine and vaccination. However, the distribution of the US Monkey Vaccine is responsible for the Strategic Reserve of the United States. The regulators are another institution of the US Department of Health and Public Services. Other states may be lost during transportation.

Chris Van Dussen, a spokesman for the Health Services Department of Texas, said that they could not track the transportation of the vaccine, I do not know when the vaccine was transported or arrived, and did not receive any advance notice. Washington State Health officials also said that they had encountered problems when they used online ordering systems.

In addition to the above problems, other problems are also faced during the distribution of American acne vaccine. After solving the ordering problem, it is necessary to determine which party has the ability to receive and store vaccines, and then distribute the vaccine to the place where there is a cold storage. After that, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ministry of Health and Public Services must also complete some difficult tasks. In addition, the training of new vaccination methods for vaccine control may lead to further delay in vaccination.
