Good job! Was just about to post this!

I just got back from my clients officer. While I was configuring his computer systems he told me he had TWO patients that may have monkeypox. Yet this articles is about someone that is NOT his patient!

Coleus, NJ Ping?

So there may be three cases of monkeypox in NJ if your client is being straight with you.

It was the doctor who told me. His office his my client. No names, just two other patients.

So no confidentiality breech.

Monkeypox may be spreading faster than is being reported after hearing what your doctor/client revealed.

Monkeypox is viral. So why would antibiotics have improved the boy's condition? Placebo effect?

Does anyone know that if you get Monkey Pox (usually non-fatal) and survive, are you then immune to smallpox?

CDC Website: "...Smallpox vaccine has been reported to reduce the risk of monkeypox among previously vaccinated persons in Africa. The potential role of smallpox vaccine in persons who have been exposed to monkeypox is being assessed. Antiviral drugs, such as cidofovir, are being evaluated for the treatment of monkeypox."

There are secondary bacterial infections in the lungs and skin when one is infected with MKX. Those pustules or eruptions are throughout the body and they are optimum sites for bacterial infections.

Here's a thought: if he was so weakened by monkeypox that he suffered further infections that exploited his weakness, then knocking down those other problems with antibiotics might leave his immune system free to fight the pox more aggressively.
