The US newspaper Politico previously reported that WHO plans to change the name "chickenpox" to "MPOX" as part of the fight against stigma.

According to sources

the decision was due to increased pressure from representatives of the US president's administration, who in particular called on WHO leaders to change the name of the disease and allow the US to act unilaterally if the organization did not respond quickly enough.

The World Health Organization (WHO)

has received reports of 1,365 cases and 69 deaths from the virus in five African countries where ape pox is commonly prevalent.

These diseases were reported at different periods

ranging from mid-December to late May.

In nations not affected by the virus

no deaths have been recorded.

Since 2017 :

the small number of deaths of people with chickenpox in West Africa has been associated with young people or untreated HIV infection," the World Health Organization explained in a report on Sunday.

The agency noted that the level of

global public health risks is moderate

"bearing in mind that this is the first time that cases and groups of ape pox have been reported simultaneously, in widely varying geographical areas of WHO, without known epidemiological links to non-infested countries in West or Central Africa".

The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that

"Public health risks can increase"

if the virus takes advantage of the chance to establish itself as a human disease by spreading among the most vulnerable populations, including infants and people with compromised immune systems.

The Agency urges health care providers to closely monitor potential symptoms, such as rashes, fever, enlarged lymph nodes, headaches, back pain, muscle pain and fatigue.

It is important to carry out the necessary tests for anyone with these symptoms.
