There are 152 confirmed and probable monkeypox cases in
Illinois, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention data last updated Wednesday. The CDC has reported 159
cases in New York and 161 in California, but every other state
in the country has a lower case count than Illinois.
Additionally, it is unclear if a probable case reported by the
St. Clair County Health Department Thursday is included the in
CDC’s figure for Illinois. According to the CDC, monkeypox is a
rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. It’s
in the same virus family as the variola virus, which causes
smallpox. Although monkeypox symptoms are similar to those
caused by smallpox, monkeypox symptoms are more mild, and the
disease is rarely fatal, the CDC says.
In 2021, at least two monkeypox cases, both travel-related, were
reported in the U.S.
Monkeypox was first reported outside of Africa in 2003, when 47
confirmed and probable cases were identified from Illinois,
Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, Wisconsin and Ohio. The people
infected with monkeypox in the 2003 outbreak had all had contact
with pet prairie dogs, who were infected after being housed near
animals imported from Ghana, according to the CDC. “Many–though
not all–” of the reported monkeypox cases this year have been
among men who have sex with men, the CDC says.
The CDC provides a fact sheet for how to mitigate the risk of
contracting monkeypox through sexual activity and also
emphasizes the importance of not stigmatizing people in the
LGBTQ+ community. Anyone can contract and spread monkeypox,
regardless of sexual orientation. The CDC is advising health
authorities about monkeypox testing and contact tracing. WHAT
ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF MONKEYPOX? Symptoms typically appear one to
two weeks after infection, the CDC says. The infection usually
lasts two to four weeks. Some people may first develop a rash,
and some experience a rash as their only symptom.
The rash progresses through multiple healing stages and can look
like “pimples or blisters that appears on the face, inside the
mouth, and on other parts of the body, like the hands, feet,
chest, genitals, or anus,” the CDC says. Other possible
monkeypox symptoms include: Fever Headache Muscle and back aches
Swollen lymph nodes Chills Exhaustion HOW CAN YOU TRY TO AVOID
MONKEYPOX? In addition to the safe sex practices the CDC
recommends in its fact sheet, there are a couple of precautions
people can take to mitigate their risk of contracting monkeypox.
The CDC recommends people wash their hands with soap and water
frequently or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Another tip
is to avoid skin-to-skin contact with people who have a rash
that looks like monkeypox. Additionally, the CDC says to avoid
sharing cups or eating utensils and avoid touching clothing,
bedding or towels of a person who has monkeypox. ARE VACCINES
AVAILABLE? The Illinois Department of Public Health announced
June 30 federal officials allocated 1,291 doses of JYNNEOS
vaccines to the state of Illinois from the national stockpile.
The Chicago Department of Public Health has been allocated a
separate stock of 3,200 doses. In the June 30 statement, IDPH
said the majority of the then 46 probable monkeypox infections
were found in Chicago and northern Illinois counties. The
JYNNEOS vaccine is used to prevent disease or lessen symptoms of
monkeypox and smallpox in adults who are determined to be at a
high risk of infection, according to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration. People who think they have been exposed to or
contracted monkeypox should contact a health provider to talk
