Monkeypox: Understanding

Monkeypox: Overview

Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a viral disease caused by the monkeypox virus, which belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus. Initially endemic to Central and West Africa, it has spread globally since 2022, with cases reported in the United States and Europe. Transmission occurs through close contact with infected individuals or animals, with symptoms typically appearing 3 to 17 days after exposure and lasting 2 to 4 weeks. Common symptoms include a painful rash that progresses from red bumps to blisters, along with fever, chills, and swollen lymph nodes. Two main clades of the virus exist: Clade I, generally associated with more severe disease, and Clade II, which drove the recent outbreak. Although there is no specific treatment, smallpox vaccination offers some protection, and public health measures are essential to limit the spread of the disease.

Initial signs often include fever, muscle aches, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes, followed by the development of a distinctive rash. This rash usually starts as flat spots that evolve into painful blisters filled with fluid, which eventually crust over and heal, lasting around 2 to 4 weeks. Lesions can appear on various parts of the body, including the face, palms, soles, and genitals. Other common symptoms may include headaches, fatigue, back pain, and chills. While many cases are mild and resolve without treatment, some individuals-especially those with weakened immune systems-may experience more severe illness.

The pathophysiology of mpox (monkeypox) involves several stages, beginning with viral entry through respiratory or dermal routes. The virus primarily targets epithelial cells in the respiratory tract or keratinocytes in the skin. After an incubation period of 6 to 13 days, it replicates at the entry site and spreads to regional lymph nodes, leading to primary viremia as it enters the bloodstream. During secondary viremia, the virus disseminates to organs such as the spleen, liver, and skin, causing widespread lesions. The immune response, involving both humoral and cellular components, works to control viral replication and establish immunity. In severe cases, histopathology reveals significant tissue damage, including necrosis and inflammatory infiltrates in lymphoid tissues and the respiratory system.

The diagnosis of mpox involves a combination of clinical evaluation and laboratory testing, with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests being the most reliable method, typically conducted on samples from skin lesions, blisters, or scabs. Blood samples may also be taken to detect the presence of the virus or antibodies. Treatment is largely supportive, as most cases are mild and resolve within 2 to 4 weeks. Although there is no specific antiviral treatment, antivirals like tecovirimat may be prescribed for severe cases. Symptom management includes pain relief, maintaining hydration, and isolating until all lesions heal to prevent further transmission.

Report Highlights:

• In September 2024, TC BioPharm announced that it intends to begin Proof of Concept preclinical studies for its lead therapeutic TCB 008, for treatment in monkey pox.
• In September 2024, Tonix Pharmaceuticals Announced that it's Single Dose Mpox Vaccine Candidate TNX-801 aligns with WHO's Newly Issued Preferred Target Product Profile for Mpox Vaccines in Global Health Emergency.
• In August 2024, The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) unit, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), had released initial results from the PALM 007 clinical trial of SIGA technologies tecovirimat in treating monkeypox virus (Mpox).
• In August 2024, Emergent BioSolutions announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for the expansion of the indication for ACAM2000, (Smallpox and Mpox (Vaccinia) Vaccine, Live) to include prevention of mpox disease in individuals determined to be at high risk for mpox infection. The approval is based on previously available human safety data and data from a well-controlled animal study in which ACAM2000 vaccine was shown to be effective in protecting against mpox virus exposure.
• In August 2024, Bavarian Nordic A/S had submitted clinical data to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to support the extension of the IMVANEX (MVA-BN) smallpox and mpox vaccine indication to include adolescents 12 to 17 years of age.
