Article Synopsis
- * The study employed a SEIR model to analyze transmission dynamics and found that MSM with high sexual activity contributed significantly more to mpox spread than those with low sexual activity, but vaccinated individuals were less likely to spread the virus.
- * Findings suggest that ongoing vaccination efforts, increased awareness in at-risk communities, and regular genomic surveillance are essential for managing future mpox outbreaks and potential threats from new viral clades.
Article Synopsis
- The sexually transmitted pathogen can cause disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI), which manifests through symptoms like skin lesions, joint pain, and more.
- The CDC has warned that drug-resistant strains of this pathogen, especially cephalosporin resistance, are becoming urgent public health threats.
- A case study highlighted a young woman treated successfully with intravenous ceftriaxone after DGI was confirmed, emphasizing the need for clinicians to recognize this rare but reemerging condition.
