Abstract

Objective: Mpox, a zoonotic disease, has emerged as a significant international public health concern due to an increase in the number of cases diagnosed in non-endemic countries. To support public health response efforts to interrupt Mpox transmission in the community, this study aims to identify epidemiological and clinical aspects of Mpox in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Methods: The study collected Mpox data from the Provincial Health Department in Jakarta, Indonesia, from October 2023 to February 2024. This included the symptom characteristics and demographics of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed and PCR-negative Mpox cases, which were then compared using the χ² test.

Results: Of the PCR-confirmed total of 58 Mpox cases, most were males (96.6%, 56/58). Of these, 67.2% (39/58) reported recent sexual activity within the 21 days prior to the disease onset date, with 41.4% (24/58) reporting only 1 sexual partner during that period. Among PCR-confirmed Mpox cases, common symptoms included fever (81.1%, 47/58), rash (63.8%, 37/58), and lesions (93.1%, 54/58).

Conclusions: The predominance of male Mpox cases indicates transmission within men who have sex with men (MSM) networks, while higher prevalence among individuals with HIV or syphilis is due to shared behaviors, highlighting the need for surveillance, contact tracing, and targeted public health interventions.

2023年10月至2024年2月印度尼西亚雅加达流行性腮腺炎流行病学和临床特征

目的：Mpox是一种人畜共患疾病，由于在非流行国家诊断出的病例数量增加，已成为一个重大的国际公共卫生问题。为了支持公共卫生应对工作，阻断Mpox在社区中的传播，本研究旨在确定印度尼西亚雅加达Mpox的流行病学和临床方面。方法：该研究收集了印度尼西亚雅加达省卫生厅2023年10月至2024年2月期间的Mpox数据。这包括聚合酶链反应（PCR）确诊和PCR阴性m痘病例的症状特征和人口统计学特征，然后使用χ2检验进行比较。结果：pcr确诊的58例m痘病例中，男性居多（96.6%,56/58）。其中，67.2%（39/58）报告在发病日前21天内有近期性行为，41.4%（24/58）报告在此期间仅有1个性伴侣。在pcr确诊的m痘病例中，常见症状包括发热（81.1%,47/58）、皮疹（63.8%,37/58）和皮损（93.1%,54/58）。结论：男性m痘病例的优势表明在男男性行为者（MSM）网络中传播，而艾滋病毒或梅毒患者的患病率较高是由于共同的行为，这突出了监测、接触者追踪和有针对性的公共卫生干预的必要性。

期刊介绍： Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness is the first comprehensive and authoritative journal emphasizing public health preparedness and disaster response for all health care and public health professionals globally. The journal seeks to translate science into practice and integrate medical and public health perspectives. With the events of September 11, the subsequent anthrax attacks, the tsunami in Indonesia, hurricane Katrina, SARS and the H1N1 Influenza Pandemic, all health care and public health professionals must be prepared to respond to emergency situations. In support of these pressing public health needs, Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness is committed to the medical and public health communities who are the stewards of the health and security of citizens worldwide.
