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.

La variole du singe est une maladie infectieuse émergente causée par un virus transmis par des animaux infectés, le plus souvent des rongeurs. Elle peut ensuite se propager d’une personne à l’autre, mais la transmission de personne à personne ne peut à elle seule entretenir une éclosion. ...La présentation clinique est semblable à celle observée chez les patients atteints autrefois de la variole, mais moins grave. La variole a été éradiquée dans le monde entier en 1980. Cependant, la variole du singe est encore présente sporadiquement dans des régions d'Afrique centrale et occidentale, près des forêts tropicales humides. De manière générale, le taux de létalité dans les épidémies de variole du singe est de 1 à 10 %, mais avec des soins appropriés, la plupart des patients se rétablissent.
