Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection from the monkeypox virus. It is a disease of global public health  importance as it not only affects countries in west and central Africa, but the rest of the world. Human-to-human antibody transmission can result from close contact with respiratory secretions, skin lesions of an infected person or  recently contaminated objects. Transmission via droplet respiratory particles usually requires prolonged  face-to-face contact, which puts health workers,  household members and other close contacts of active  cases at greater risk.

This product is used for in vitro qualitative detection of monkeypox virus IgG/IgM  antibodies in human serum, plasma and whole blood samples. Human monkeypox virus is a rare, sporadic, smallpox-like virus of animal origin.  The first case of monkeypox virus infection in humans was reported in Congo in  1970. Humans are infected with monkeypox mainly through the bite of the infected  animal, or direct contact with the blood, body fluids, or monkeypox lesions of the  infected animal; usually transmitted from animals to humans, human-to-human  transmission of monkeypox can also occur occasionally. It is generally believed that  it is transmitted through a large number of toxic respiratory droplets during direct,  prolonged face-to-face contact. Additionally, monkeypox can also be spread  through direct contact with the infected person's body fluids or virus-contaminated  items, such as clothing and bedding. The clinical features of monkeypox are very  similar to those of common smallpox, except that monkeypox may have more  symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, and about 12 days after infection, the patient  will have fever, head pain, myalgia, back pain, swollen lymph nodes, general  malaise and fatigue. After 1-3 days (sometimes longer) the patients develop  papuliform pustular lesions, usually first on the face and sometimes on other parts  of the body. The rash generally scabs and falls off after several stages.  The typical  course of monkeypox is 2-4 weeks, with a very rapid recovery period.

【Test method】 

1. Before testing, the unopened reagent should be placed at room temperature to  allow the temperature of the reagent to reach equilibrium.  2. Tear the aluminum foil bag along the incision site, take out the test pad and lay it  flat on a clean surface. 3. Use a disposable plastic straw to vertically drop 1 drop of fingertip blood sample  or serum, plasma, whole blood sample (about 25 μL) into the sample well, and then  drop 2 drops of sample diluent to start timing. 4. Read the result at 10 minutes, and the result is valid within 20 minutes.
