Abstract

Air and surface sampling was performed in isolation rooms of seven patients with clade Ib mpox admitted to high consequence infectious disease centres in the United Kingdom. We detected monkeypox virus (MPXV) DNA in 66/90 surfaces samples and 1/14 air samples; replication competent MPXV was identified in 4/21 surface samples selected for viral isolation. These findings demonstrate that viable clade Ib MPXV contamination can occur during treatment of clade Ib mpox patients reinforcing the importance of infection prevention and control measures.

2024年至2025年英国医院b支猴痘病毒的空气和地表采样

在联合王国高后果传染病中心收治的7名b支mpox患者的隔离室中进行了空气和表面采样。在66/90的表面样本和1/14的空气样本中检测到猴痘病毒（MPXV） DNA；在4/21的表面样品中鉴定出具有复制能力的MPXV。这些发现表明，在治疗乙肝支枝mpox患者期间，可能会发生活的乙肝支枝MPXV污染，这加强了感染预防和控制措施的重要性。
