The prevalence of monkeypox (mpox) infections is primarily observed among young men who engage in sexual activities with other men, and there is a possibility of sexual transmission. Co-occurring sexually transmitted infections have also been documented. What is added by this report? In this report, we present a case of a patient in China who was simultaneously diagnosed with mpox, and acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The patient exhibited symptoms of fever and widespread papules on the trunk, face, and genital area. What are the implications for public health practice? It is crucial for health agencies to prioritize HIV testing when mpox is suspected or diagnosed in individuals with recent engagement in high-risk sexual behavior.","PeriodicalId":505168,"journal":{"name":"China CDC Weekly","volume":"26 11","pages":"126 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139960698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Current State and Progress of Mpox Vaccine Research","authors":"Xinlong Wang, Zhixia Gu, Shugui Sheng, Rui Song, Ronghua Jin","doi":"10.46234/ccdcw2024.025","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46234/ccdcw2024.025","url":null,"abstract":"On July 23, 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the monkeypox (mpox) outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” Since 2022, outbreaks of mpox in many countries around the world have primarily resulted in fatalities among immunocompromised individuals, such as untreated HIV/AIDS patients. Since the eradication of smallpox was declared by the WHO in 1980, the global vaccination against smallpox has been gradually discontinued. China also stopped routine smallpox vaccination in 1981. The protective effect of the smallpox vaccine has decreased over time due to aging and declining immunity in those who were vaccinated. For individuals, timely vaccination against smallpox is an effective means of protection against mpox. However, due to safety concerns with the smallpox vaccine and the limitations of current mpox vaccines, there is no vaccine that is safe, effective, and has low side effects applied in clinical settings. This article provides a comprehensive review of the development of mpox virus (MPXV) vaccines, their application in special populations, and the current state of vaccine research, considering the etiology, transmission, and prevention of the MPXV. Vaccination, as an effective method of epidemic prevention, can provide long-term immune protection and effectively reduce the severity of infection. However, as there is no licensed specific MPXV vaccine available globally, the vaccines currently used for mpox prevention are mostly smallpox vaccines. These smallpox vaccines can offer some degree of protection against mpox by activating cross-protection in the body.","PeriodicalId":505168,"journal":{"name":"China CDC Weekly","volume":"44 8","pages":"118 - 125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139961612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Echinococcosis is classified as a Class C infectious disease in China. It is endemic in 370 counties located in the agricultural and pastoral regions of western China. What is added by this report? This report provides a comprehensive overview of the cases of echinococcosis reported in China in 2022. Following a thorough evaluation conducted by provincial CDCs, it was identified that 105 new cases were not reported through the National Notifiable Disease Reporting System. Furthermore, there were 1,051 cases that were reported among patients who had been previously diagnosed with echinococcosis. What are the implications for public health practice? The reported cases of echinococcosis in non-endemic counties of provincial-level administrative divisions where the disease is endemic need to be given more attention, as there is a potential risk of it spreading within the non-endemic areas. Inadequate reporting practices by clinical medical institutions are hindering the subsequent investigations carried out by CDCs. It is important to implement enhanced health promotion efforts that focus on high-risk populations to address unhealthy lifestyles.","PeriodicalId":505168,"journal":{"name":"China CDC Weekly","volume":"50 19","pages":"100 - 104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139964943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
