Saudi Arabia Confirms the First Case of Monkeypox, Here are the Symptoms You Should Know

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health confirmed the first case of monkeypox in the country. This case allegedly emerged from someone who came from abroad to Riyadh.

The ministry said that the infected person was under medical care according to approved health procedures.According to the ministry statement, samples were taken from everyone who had contact with an infected person for laboratory tests and none showed symptoms.


Citing the Saudi Gazette, the Ministry confirmed the continued monitoring and follow-up on the development of monkeypox and transparently announced each new case.

Everyone is advised to be aware of the symptoms of monkeypox or monkeypox that may appear and hit the world. Monkeypox is caused by monkeypox virus or monkeypox virus (MPXV). There are several symptoms of monkeypox that may appear.

The first human case of monkeypox was discovered in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Then cases of monkeypox emerged and spread throughout Central and West Africa. However, recently several countries in Europe, the United States have announced the spread of the disease.

Some early symptoms to watch for:

- fever;

- muscle ache;

- back pain;

- fatigue;

- back pain;

- swollen lymph nodes.

Symptoms of monkeypox don't just appear on the skin. There are symptoms of monkeypox in the anus, according to the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Doctors who diagnose monkeypox are said to be wary of symptoms that do not match the description of the general symptoms of the disease. They revealed monkeypox is caused by a virus from the same family and genus as the chickenpox virus.

The symptoms are also considered similar. What are the common symptoms of monkeypox? Some of the symptoms of monkeypox include fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes and fatigue.

Citing LiveScience, the typical rash associated with monkey pox begins to appear. This rash usually progresses through several stages, initially appearing as patches of discolored skin, then bumps, then blisters and finally large pimples filled with pus, finally, these skin lesions scab and fall out.

Historically, monkeypox rashes tended to appear around the face and in the oral cavity, first, and then may progress to the extremities, including the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. However, some recent cases of monkeypox in the US have deviated from this pattern, for example the symptoms of monkeypox in the anus.

But not only that, there are also unusual symptoms that appear in monkeypox sufferers. Many AS patients develop a rash that initially appears around the genitals and anus, as well as the tissues that line the mouth.

In some patients, this rash causes pain in the anus and rectum, rectal bleeding, painful inflammation of the lining of the rectum (proctitis) and a sensation of having to defecate when the bowel is empty (tenesmus).

Symptoms including monkeypox symptoms in the anus are not included in the typical description of monkeypox.

"It is now clear that there is an unusual situation, which means even the virus is behaving in an unusual way from how it usually behaved in the past," said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), at a briefing, according to NBC News.

"Anyone, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation, can catch and spread monkeypox. However, in this outbreak, many of the cases reported in the United States were among gay, bisexual, or other men who have sex with men," he said.

For this reason, health agencies have stressed that men who have sex with men should be aware that the virus can spread on their social networks.

If you develop a new or unexplained rash or other symptoms, what to do?

This includes the symptoms of monkeypox in the anus.

- Avoid having sex or having sex with anyone until you have been examined by a healthcare provider.

- If you don't have a provider or health insurance, visit a community health clinic near you.

- Wear a mask

If you or your partner has monkeypox then you should avoid having sex until the rash has healed, the scabs have gone and you have a fresh layer of skin.
