Since May 2022, an international monkeypox (MPX) outbreak has been ongoing in more than 50 countries. While most cases are men who have sex with men, transmission is not restricted to this population. In report, we describe the case of a male child younger 10 years MPX Netherlands. Despite thorough source tracing, likely infection identified. No secondary were identified close contacts.
BackgroundIn 2022 and 2023, a global outbreak of mpox affected mostly gay, bisexual other men having sex with (GBMSM). Outbreak control in the Netherlands included isolation, quarantine, post-exposure prophylaxis vaccination primary preventive (PPV).AimWe describe course outbreak, programme, vaccine effectiveness (VE) full against symptomatic disease, trends behaviour to generate hypotheses about factors that influenced outbreak's decline.MethodsIn this observational study, we collected data...
Since 2015, outbreaks of hepatitis A among men who have sex with (MSM) been reported worldwide. To examine the impact these MSM in Netherlands, we combined notification and epidemiological data sequence analysis. Our results show hazards within risk-groups spilling over into largely susceptible general population. One third outbreak-related virus genotypes were detected non-MSM cases.
