Monkeypox : Cases of monkeypox virus are increasing in some countries of the world. Monkeypox is a viral disease, which can spread from one person to another. Usually this disease gets cured in a few days, but in some cases it can cause serious problems. In the beginning of monkeypox, fever and rashes occur in the body. After this the rash spreads throughout the body. Monkeypox can also cause neurological problems i.e. diseases related to the brain. So there is a risk of problems like encephalitis, meningitis.
Brain swelling?
According to an interview taken by a news agency, Dr. Praveen Gupta of Fortis Hospital says that the monkeypox virus can affect the patient's skin and respiratory system. This can cause neurological problems. This can cause encephalitis. This problem causes swelling in the brain. Due to this, the patient has to face problems like headache, fever. Apart from this, meningitis can also occur. In this, the membrane around the patient's brain and spinal cord starts swelling.
Why do neurological problems occur?
According to Dr. Gupta, the monkeypox virus affects the patient's skin and respiratory system, but in some patients the virus can also severely affect their nervous system, causing damage to the nervous system and brain cells. Inflammation occurs. Sometimes the immune response in patients suffering from monkeypox causes nerve damage. However, cases of neurological effects of monkeypox are rare.
How to prevent monkeypox?
