  5. EVALI is still a thing

    Just like monkeypox. Still around too

    Seems all public health does is declare things over, that aren't over

    "According to an article in the Radiological Society of North America news published in Mar 2022, EVALI cases continue to be diagnosed. “EVALI has by no means disappeared,” Dr. Kligerman said. “We continue to see numerous cases, even during the pandemic, many of which are initially misdiagnosed as COVID-19.” [20]"

    {Excerpts}

    The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) is hereby transmitting the report of the second meeting of the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) Emergency Committee (Committee) regarding the upsurge of mpox 2024, held on Friday 22 November 2024, from 12:00 to 17:00 CET.

    (…)

    Conclusion

    The Committee reiterated its concern regarding the continuing spread of MPXV and uncertainties ensuing, and the effectiveness and efficiency of the response at the local level. The Committee underscored the need for the sustained commitment by national authorities in focusing efforts and resources at the local level to interrupt MPXV transmission, as well as the role of coordinated international cooperation in supporting and complementing such efforts in a synergistic manner. Therefore, the Committee considers that the determination by the WHO Director-General that the upsurge of mpox still constitutes a PHEIC would be warranted.

    The WHO Deputy Director-General expressed his gratitude to the Committee’s Officers, its Members and Advisor and closed the meeting.

    Summary
    Background
    Monkeypox virus clade I is endemic in several central African countries and characterised by an increase in disease severity and mortality. Since October, 2023, a large-scale mpox outbreak has emerged in DR Congo, and in March, 2024, the first individuals with mpox were reported outside the endemic areas in Republic of the Congo. We aimed to provide insight into the epidemic by sequencing samples obtained from individuals with mpox in Republic of the Congo.

    Methods
    In this cross-sectional, descriptive study, samples were collected from individuals with suspected mpox between Jan 15 and April 8, 2024, in Brazzaville, Pointe-Noire, Likouala, Cuvette-Centrale, and Plateaux (Republic of the Congo). Blood samples, skin or oropharyngeal swabs, or skin crusts were obtained for molecular diagnosis via real-time PCR. Monkeypox virus sequences were obtained and analysed using newly established nanopore sequencing methodology and bioinformatic pipeline. The sequences obtained were aligned and used to construct a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree using IG-TREE.

    Findings
    61 samples were collected from individuals with suspected mpox, 31 of which were positive for monkeypox virus and were included in our analysis (four positive samples were excluded due to unavailability of epidemiological data or insufficient biological material). Individuals who tested positive for monkeypox virus were from Cuvette-Centrale (19 [61%] of 31), Likouala (eight [26%]), and Pointe-Noire (four [13%]). 20 (65%) were male and 11 (35%) were female. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences showed two major clusters within clade Ia. One cluster was made up of four sequences from this study clustering with two monkeypox virus sequences from the current DR Congo outbreak, three older sequences from Central African Republic sequenced between 2017 and 2018, and seven sequences from DR Congo sequenced in 2006–07 and 2022. The second cluster was made up of 16 sequences from this study clustering with sequences from the current DR Congo outbreak. In addition, sequences from Republic of the Congo show multiple phylogenetic positioning suggesting the occurrence of multiple co-circulating strains in the human population.

    Interpretation
    Our findings suggest that multiple monkeypox virus strains are co-circulating in the human population, highlighting the need for implementation of expanded mpox surveillance, especially in countries bordering DR Congo and Republic of the Congo, in combination with control measures focused on containing the current outbreaks in these countries to prevent escalation into a larger-scale epidemic.

    Two cases of Clade Ib mpox have been detected in household contacts of the first case, the UK Health Security Agency (UKSHA) can confirm. This brings the total number of confirmed cases to 3.

    The 2 patients are currently under specialist care at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London. The risk to the UK population remains low.

    There has been extensive planning underway to ensure healthcare professionals are equipped and prepared to respond to any further confirmed cases.

    Professor Susan Hopkins, Chief Medical Adviser at UKHSA, said:

    ”Mpox is very infectious in households with close contact and so it is not unexpected to see further cases within the same household.

    ”The overall risk to the UK population remains low. We are working with partners to make sure all contacts of the cases are identified and contacted to reduce the risk of further spread.

    Contacts of all 3 cases are being followed up by UKHSA and partner organisations. All contacts will be offered testing and vaccination as needed and advised on any necessary further care if they have symptoms or test positive.
