Evolution of monkeypox in Europe

Inicio » EU News » Health » Diseases » Evolution of monkeypox in Europe

9 de December de 2022

Monkeypox (MPX) is a zoonotic disease and is currently the most prevalent orthopoxviral infection in humans after the eradication of smallpox and the cessation of universal smallpox vaccination. In endemic areas, monkeypox virus (MPXV) probably circulates among a number of mammals, although there is no known reservoir. Occasional spill-over events to humans generate outbreaks. MPXV is transmitted to humans through bite or direct contact with an infected animal’s blood, meat, bodily fluids, or cutaneous/mucosal lesions.

This report presents an update of MPX confirmed cases in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) and worldwide. Cases detected in the EU/EEA have been reported according to the ECDC case definition  and are obtained through screening of official websites. Cases reported from outside the EU/EEA are collected through screening of official websites and media sources.

A table with the latest update of confirmed cases is shown below:

Monkeypox Surveillance Bulletin


16/06/22

As of 15 June, a total of 1 160 confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported from 22 EU/EEA countries. Most cases have been found in young men, and where sexual orientation is known, almost all patients are men who have sex with men. There have been no deaths. The clinical presentation is generally described to be mild, with most cases presenting with lesions on the genitalia or peri-genital area, indicating that transmission likely occurred by close physical contact during sexual activities.
