AI Article Synopsis
- Fingolimod can cause low lymphocyte levels, which may increase the risk of severe monkeypox infections.
- Recent monkeypox outbreaks have been classified as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
- It's important to consider vaccinating multiple sclerosis (MS) patients before starting immunosuppressive treatments, especially those on sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators like Fingolimod.
Article Abstract
Fingolimod-induced lymphopenia is a risk factor for severe monkeypox infection. As monkeypox was recently declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, vaccination should be evaluated in patients with MS before immunosuppressive treatment, particularly in patients receiving sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators.

Monkeypox (MPOX) is a zoonotic viral disease caused by the Monkeypox virus (MPXV), which has become the most significant public health threat within the genus since the eradication of the Variola virus (VARV). Despite the extensive attention MPXV has garnered, little is known about its clinical manifestations in humans. In this study, a high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) approach was employed to investigate the transcriptional and metabolic responses of HEK293T cells to the MPXV A5L protein.

We optimized and used a plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) with authentic clade IIa MPXV and vaccinia virus to assess antibody responses over 12 months in 8 donors vaccinated with 2 doses of JYNNEOS. One donor previously received the ACAM2000 vaccine; 7 donors were smallpox vaccine-naive.

Background: Global re-emergence of the zoonotic viral disease, Mpox (Monkeypox) has drawn global attention, leading to its declaration as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by World Health Organisation (WHO) in July 2022. Nigeria is a spotlight identified for the viral disease outbreak, with attention drawn on its transmission to non-endemic nations. With the country's healthcare challenges, care seeking practices particularly amongst low-income urban informal settlement populations are diverse - presenting challenges to both case identification and management during an outbreak.

Background: The current pandemic of 2022 global mpox (formerly known as monkeypox), caused by infection with monkeypox virus (MPXV), has now reached over 120 countries. This constitutes a critical public health issue requiring effective disease management and surveillance. Rapid and reliable diagnosis is conducive to the control of infection, early intervention, and timely treatment.
