🧵 on why the past experiences aren't good enough #monkeypox disease was first confirmed in humans in 1970.When the outbreak happened most thought it will be a few cases based on earlier outbreaks BUT some of us believed otherwise. See the old tweet ctd)
2/n We were plain lucky to have the West African clade of #monkeypox spread and not the #Congo clade spread , had that happened those who are lecturing is would have been scurrying for cover. Whether it is #Nigeria or it is Globally #monkeypox has broken a lot of barriers.ctd) 
3/n with massive undercounting globally we are at 70,000+ cases in 102 new countries.All with availability of #Vaccine & #Tecovirimat in many countries. It would have been thousands more - so even if anyone has experienced the past- it doesn't help - the field has changed ctd)
Você sabia que se vc tiver uma forma grave de monkeypox HOJE, no Brasil, você não consegue tratamento específico?
O Ministério da Saúde recebeu um lote muito pequeno do medicamento tecovirimat e já acabou. Você pode morrer, perder a visão, simplesmente porque NÃO TEMOS o remédio.

Isso é absurdo em tantos níveis.
Uma epidemia que já havia sido anunciada e foi totalmente negligenciada pelo governo federal.
Nem uma vacina foi aplicada até hoje.
É horrível atender um paciente e não conseguir tratar sabendo que EXISTE o medicamento mas ele não está disponível

Isso me agride profundamente como médico e como cidadão.
The California Senate Select Committee hearing on #monkeypox is about to begin. Stay tuned for updates/livetweets
@Scott_Wiener says "severe public health failures" over the years have led to the outbreak we are experiencing now, citing expiration of the national vaccine stockpile
Wiener says it needs to be acknowledged that the virus is "overwhelmingly" impacting gay and bisexual men without stigmatizing them, and that there is no guarantee that the virus doesn't spread further
❗Contagio nosocomial de un médico 🇮🇱 manejando muestras de #virueladelmono #monkeypox
Siempre según la noticia, parece que tenía un EPI correcto, pero cometió un error en la retirada de guantes
Varias conclusiones:
-el riesgo cero NO existe
-importancia del entrenamiento adecuado. De nada sirve que me den el EPI correcto si no sé utilizarlo, ni tengo tiempo para entrenar por la presión asistencial

Last month, many of us @mgh_id @bwh_id @BIDMC_IDFellows + @MassDPH came together to care for 3 patients with #monkeypox in Massachusetts and used #tecovirimat for the first time in the state. I'm excited to share our experience in @OFIDJournal.

Key takeaways:
▶️ #tecovirimat was well-tolerated
▶️ our patients (acknowledging limitations of a 3-patient observational study) felt it improved their symptoms and paused progression of early lesions
▶️ the process of obtaining and using #Tpoxx was unnecessarily cumbersome

As #monkeypox cases increase, @US_FDA and @CDCgov should urgently make #tecovirimat readily accessible, and we should leverage lessons from #COVID19 to expedite clinical trials that establish safety, efficacy and inform delivery.

A partir de hoy los informes de vigilancia epidemiológica de #RENAVE @SaludISCIII sobre #monkeypox se colgarán en: isciii.es/QueHacemos/Ser… #ISCIII #NoticiasISCIII vía @SaludISCIII
Informe de hoy: más de 2300 casos. Casi todos siguen siendo hombres pero hay 20 mujeres. Edad desde los 3 a los 76 años. 46% 🇪🇦, 25% latinos..
Madrid y Cataluña siguen siendo el epicentro del brote en 🇪🇦
Hoy nos levantamos con la que, hasta ahora, es la mayor serie de casos de #monkeypox publicada del actual brote via @TheLancetInfDis. Muchos datos interesantes. ¡Hilo va! thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
El estudio describe 54 casos de #HSH diagnosticados en clinicas de ETS de Londres. Esto tiene algunos inconvenientes: no hay mujeres (que pueden padecer y padecen #monkeypox exactamente igual y con el mismo mecanismo de transmisión que los #HSH y varones heterosexuales)
Y se escapan algunos datos que no se recogen de rutina en las bases de datos de estos centros: sobre todo los gastrointestinales. Y es que algunas de las complicaciones que estamos viendo en 🇪🇦 se deben a obstrucción parcial faríngea por contagio oral pasivo)
Information from today's @CDCgov clinicians' webinar on #monkeypox.
There have been 305 confirmed cases so far in the US
Interesting that @CAPublicHealth site has 65 listed, but only 43 in the CDC graphic

Number of cases detected over time.
Many cases are among men who have sex with other men.
But it is important to remember that anyone can be infected (and spread) #monkeypox, regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation.

Presentation is a bit atypical.
Lesions can appear different in one area of the body, compared to another.
Performing a full skin and mucosal exam is important.
Diagnosis with another #STI doesn't rule out #monkeypox

Comunicado de @WHO con muchos datos interesantes sobre #monkeypox
Por el momento no se declara #PHEIC, pero se insiste en la importancia de tomar medidas de prevención y de acceso a vacunas y tratamiento
R0 menor de 1 (bien), pero en #HSH mayor de 1 (mal). Hay que incidir especialmente en la información y medidas en ese grupo
Fernando Simón en @ranm_es #monkeypox: "lo más probable es que este brote no se extenga mucho más allá en el tiempo". "Un infectólogo podría haber diagnosticado una lesión individual en la mano de un paciente" #siespecialidadEEII @SEIMC_
"Esto no ha pasado por casualidad, vivimos en un mundo cada vez más pequeñito" #OneHealth
Paz Sánchez Seco:"la prueba diagnóstica se desarrolló originalmente para diagnóstico de viruela en el contexto de un ataque #CBRN"
After touching 175 we will try and keep everyone updated about #monkeypox, will post the 175 first followed by the updates all the way till 200 .Here we go
Updates below ctd)

176/n @karmonyk has graciously shared a story, these delays have cost the patient the chance to prevent a bad outcome , vaccine best within 4 days and works all the way till 2 weeks , we've lost that window period , we are up for a bad outcome if we treat #monkeypox this way ctd)
177/n As Argentina logs up its second case, Mexico joins the league logging its first one ctd)

Op Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao en Suriname wordt met apenpokken vaak krentenbaard bedoeld, een huidinfectie door een bacterie.
Monkeypox waar het nu over gaat komt voor in Afrika waar het virus van dier op mens overgaat (zoonose) en dan vaak beperkt van mens op mens verspreid.

Nota informativa #SEIMC @GepiSeimc @javimembrillo sobre el webinar GEPI-SEIMC de actualización urgente sobre el brote de #Monkeypox que se acaba de celebrar. Gracias a todos por vuestro interés.
Unos 600 expertos nacionales e internacionales han participado en un webinar que ha analizado las últimas novedades científicas sobre la #VirueladelMono
Javier Membrillo (@javimembrillo) ha reivindicado que, ante otro brote de enfermedad emergente infectocontagiosa, es urgente el reconocimiento de la especialidad de Enfermedades #Infecciosas en España, “único país de Europa sin la especialidad” #SIEspecialidadEI @sanidadgob
