Dr. Xavier Sáez Llorens, head of the Research Department of the Children’s Hospital and infectologist, referred to the second case of monkeypox in our country, expressing that one of the major problems with the disease is stigmatization or discrimination due to relationships between men, since the person does not want to reveal intimate information and the contacts do not leave in a timely manner for proper treatment.

He said that it is quite difficult to know if one is infected, and the most characteristic symptoms are skin lesions, however, these appear after the person presents fever, joint pain, fatigue, etc.

The doctor highlighted that 1% of these cases have been registered in women, and the cases in children have been minor, so the contact has to be very intimate, through touching the skin lesions or being in very close proximity as kissing or sexual activity.
