The “red pox virus” should be “monkeypox virus”, which is a DNA virus that causes monkeypox in humans. Monkeypox virus belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus in the family Poxviridae, and is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus that can be transmitted between animals and humans, and can also be transmitted secondarily between humans, leading to monkeypox in humans, mainly in the rainforests of Central and West Africa, and occasionally exported to other regions. Monkeypox virus infection in humans can be clinically divided into two phases. The onset phase is characterized by fever, severe headache, swollen lymph nodes, muscle pain, back pain, and a feeling of double weakness (dysphoria). The skin rash phase is characterized by the almost simultaneous appearance of a rash on the face, palms and feet, and trunk. Since there is no specific treatment available, it is recommended not to travel to infected areas and to avoid contact with monkeypox patients in order to avoid contracting the virus.
