大多数报告的人类猴痘病例发生在中非和西非，那里的致病病毒是地方性的。我们描述了2021年5月从尼日利亚传入英国的西非猴痘病例的识别和公共卫生应对情况。指示病例的继发性传播发生在家庭内部，传染给另一名成年人和一名幼儿。在抵达和到达医院时同时采取与covid -19相关的控制措施，有助于发现并限制潜在接触者的数量。
Most reported cases of human monkeypox occur in Central and West Africa, where the causing virus is endemic. We describe the identification and public health response to an imported case of West African monkeypox from Nigeria to the United Kingdom (UK) in May 2021. Secondary transmission from the index case occurred within the family to another adult and a toddler. Concurrent COVID-19-related control measures upon arrival and at the hospital, facilitated detection and limited the number of potential contacts.
