Monkeypox patients complain of ‘worst pain of their life’ as WHO have emergency meeting
MONKEYPOX patients have complained they are experiencing the 'worst pain of their lives' as the bug continues to spread.
The UK currently has 1,235 cases of the illness, with the World Health Organization (WHO) scheduling an emergency meeting on the outbreak.
Infections are also rising in the US, where there are now 605 cases, with California being the worst hit with 117.
One US man said that when he arrived unwell at a hospital in Washington, medics had no idea what to do, and were even Googling his condition.
The biologist believes he caught the illness from a gathering of OnlyFans creators.
As part of the event of a few dozen people, Alex said they had been filming sex scenes.
He said he went to medics with 'the worst pain of my life', and believes three other cases may have come from the event, NBC reported.
It comes as the WHO revealed there is now 6,000 cases confirmed across 58 countries.
Speaking at a press conference, the UN health agency's director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said testing remains a challenge - with probable cases not being picked up.
"I continue to be concerned by the scale and spread of the virus.
"My teams are following the data. I plan to reconvene the emergency committee so they're updated on the current epidemiology and evolution of the monkeypox outbreak, and implementation of counter measures.
"I will bring them together in the week of July 18 or sooner if needed," he said.
Brits have already been warned to heed caution when it comes to summer events,
In the UK, the majority of the cases have been seen in London - which holds 692 infections.
Medics recently revealed that patients attending sexual health clinics in the capital are experiencing symptoms that have not been seen in previous outbreaks.
Most people who get the illness will usually have cold and flu like symptoms such as a fever and headache - before a rash appears.
Experts looked at 54 monkeypox patients who tested positive during a 12 day period in May this year.
They found that patients in London were predominately presenting with skin lesions in the genital area - with tiredness and fever being lesser symptoms compared with previous outbreaks.
All the patients in the study were symptomatic and presented with some sort of skin lesions.
Analysis found that 94 per cent had at least one skin lesion on the genital or perianal skin - signs that have not previously been noted.
Around 18 per cent did not report any symptoms before they recognised they had skin issues.
Dr Ruth Byrne, from the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, added that a quarter of patients also tested positive for gonorrhoea or chlamydia at the same time as the monkeypox infection.
She added: "It is possible that at various stages of the infection monkeypox may mimic common STIs, such as herpes and syphilis, in its presentation.

Hell ..it could mutate to eventually go into our food chain and infect us..and we would have to destroy food thus creating a catastrophic global food shortage.redmanjp wrote:DMan7 wrote:No deaths from the monkeypox outbreak to date. I doubt this will be deemed a pandemic.
children and pregnant women are at risk if it eventually infects them. and deaths or lack of is not the only criteria to declare a pandemic.

The man who has been confirmed with the contagious monkeypox virus has fled the May Pen Hospital in Clarendon.
Police and health authorities do not know his whereabouts.
The man was under isolation.
Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton says the man jumped through a bathroom window on Saturday and left in a car that was waiting for him.
The police visited his home but he was not found.

It’s even more grim. We had only 2000 monkeypox cases combined in 30 years of tracking it. We now have almost 8000 new #monkeypox cases in just 2 months.
