Ghaziabad: After getting symptoms of monkeypox in a 5-year-old girl in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, adjacent to the country's capital Delhi, her sample has been taken for a precautionary examination. The girl was itching and her body was also getting rashes. Giving this information, the CMO of Ghaziabad has said that the girl does not have any other health problems. Along with this, he told that neither he nor any of his close relatives have gone on a foreign trip during the last one month.

According to the CMO, samples taken from the girl's body have been sent to Pune for testing, from where the report will come in 24 hours. He said the child had just been isolated. These symptoms seen in his body may also be of any other disease, but the test is being done as a precautionary measure. Monkeypox is a rare disease whose initial symptoms are flu-like. These include fever, headaches, chills, muscle pain, backache, fatigue and swollen lymph nodes. After the infection, the rash starts coming on the face, which also spreads to other parts of the body. These symptoms can occur from the 5th day of infection to the 21st day.

The central government has issued guidelines on Monkeypox and has instructed all states and Union Territories to take precautions. The guidelines issued by the government have instructed to trace cases at the earliest and create containment zones for suspected patients to prevent the spread of monkeypox virus infection.
