Diagnosis and Treatment of Monkeypox Patients a Review

A viral disease that affects children and young adults, it begins gradually and the infection may be mild. The infection turns into an acute stage in a high percentage of patients. The disease develops in the acute stage to encephalitis, myocarditis or pneumonia, and eye problems in severe cases.Monkeypox virus infection is a major public health problem worldwide. The country bears the largest burden in the world in terms of monkeypox infection and will be a major contributor to the elimination of this disease globally. The country has made good progress in reducing monkeypox virus infection in previous years, Iraq still faces challenges in achieving its goal of reducing the mortality and morbidity rate of monkeypox at present. Based on the objectives of the WHO global health sector strategy on monkeypox, we highlight other priorities for action to eliminate this virus in Iraq to achieve the impact goal of reducing mortality, and we suggest prioritizing service coverage targets for diagnosis and treatment. First, there is a need to improve the diagnostic and treatment capacities of medical institutions and health workers. Second, the government needs to reduce the financial burden of health care on patients. Third, there is a need for better coordination across existing national programs and resources to establish an integrated prevention and control system that covers prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection and monkeypox across the life cycle. In this way, progress can be made towards the goal of eliminating monkeypox in Iraq.
