A varíola dos macacos é uma doença infeciosa emergente causada por um vírus transmitido aos humanos por animais infetados, na sua maioria roedores. Pode ser propagado a outras pessoas, mas a transmissão de pessoa para pessoa, isoladamente, não pode facilmente sustentar um surto. A apresentaç...o clínica é semelhante à observada no passado com a varíola, mas menos grave. A varíola foi erradicada mundialmente em 1980; no entanto, a varíola dos macacos ainda ocorre esporadicamente em partes da África Central e Ocidental, perto das florestas tropicais húmidas. Normalmente, a mortalidade nos surtos da varíola dos macacos tem sido de 1 a 10%, mas com os cuidados adequados, a maioria dos doentes recupera. Este curso fornece uma introdução geral à varíola dos macacos e destina-se aos profissionais de saúde responsáveis pela prevenção e controlo da varíola dos macacos.

Nach dem derzeitigen Informationsstand sind aktuell humane Infektionen durch das Affenpockenvirus (monkeypox virus, MPX) in einigen Regionen der Welt einschließlich mehreren europäischen Ländern aufgetreten. Die Daten belegen eine Mensch-zu-Mensch-Übertragung unter bestimmten Bedingungen. Die Ü...bertragung von MPX von Mensch zu Mensch erfolgt in der Regel durch engen Haut- bzw. Schleimhautkontakt mit infektiösem Material aus den Hautläsionen einer infizierten Person, sowie – seltener – durch respiratorische Tröpfchen/Sekrete z.B. bei längerem Kontakt von Angesicht zu Angesicht oder durch kontaminierte Gegenstände und Oberflächen. Bei diesem Erreger ist besonders zu beachten, dass Partikel des Affenpockenvirus eingebettet in Sekreten bzw. getrocknet an Hautschuppen bzw. Schorfpartikeln für längere Zeiträume infektiös sein können, was eine sorgfältige und umfassende Reinigung und Desinfektion der Patientenumgebung bzw. der Oberflächen notwendig macht.
