Herpes and Smallpox: Isn’t it swelling a case for someone’s sake?

31 May 20222 years ago babelfish

In Thailand it seemed that there were also three cases of "Monkeypox", the one that, from a certain point of view, is the craze of the moment. Then the exams and the announcements took place: so far no monkeypox infection has been found in Thailand. The three people suspected of contracting monkeypox and being treated at the Infectious Disease Institute in Bamrasnaradura, mon are ill with smallpox, but with a much more trivial disease: herpes. As Dr. Opas, head of the country's infectious disease department, says: “Early information shows that monkeypox infection is not as easily spread as Covid-19. Transmission requires close interaction with a symptomatic individual ”, that is, with a person with pustules.

Now the herpes virus and the monkeypox virus are completely different. The tests are enough to distinguish the two diseases. The families they belong to are completely different. How could Herpes have been confused with monkeypox?

Simply ask yourself a question: how many doctors have seen smallpox? How many have seen monkeypox? How likely is a doctor to mistake chickenpox or herpes for monkeypox?

So we may have had two phenomena , as also indicated by the CDC:

doctors who have analyzed cases of herpes and mistakenly referred to them as monkeypox;
doctors who have examined cases of monkeypox in recent months and classified them as severe cases of herpes

All this despite the course of the two diseases and the therapies are completely different. This would explain many of the current cases, which did not arise out of nowhere, but traded as herpes in the previous months. However, the explosion could also be explained as cases of herpes which, before the exams, are judged as smallpox, also due to the desire of many doctors to end up in the newspapers.

Monkeypox is transmitted by very close contact with the infected, who have pustules. hi do you want to be less than a meter away from a person with pustules?
