BUTLER COUNTY, Ohio �
Butler County health officials confirmed Wednesday a patient has
tested positive for Monkeypox.

This makes the fourth confirmed case in Greater Cincinnati.
Hamilton County currently has three confirmed cases.

According to the CDC, there are currently 73 confirmed cases
across Ohio.

Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the
monkeypox virus.

Monkeypox symptoms are similar to smallpox symptoms, but milder,
and monkeypox is rarely fatal.

Monkeypox can be spread from the time symptoms start until the
rash has healed, all scabs have fallen off, and a fresh layer of
skin has formed. This can take several weeks.

Monkeypox Symptoms can include

People with monkeypox get a rash that may be located on or near
the genitals or anus and could be on other areas like the hands,
feet, chest, face, or mouth.
The rash will go through several stages, including scabs, before
healing.
The rash can initially look like pimples or blisters and may be
painful or itchy.
Other symptoms of monkeypox can include flu like symptoms such
as: fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, exhaustion, muscle aches
and backache, headache, and/or respiratory symptoms (e.g. sore
throat, nasal congestion, or cough)

People may experience all or only a few of the symptoms of
monkeypox, but most people with monkeypox will get a rash.

Some people have developed a rash before (or without) flu-like
symptoms.

Monkeypox symptoms usually start within 3 weeks of exposure to
the virus.

The Health Departments of Butler County recommend anyone
experiencing these symptoms to contact their health provider and
seek medical attention.

Patients are asked to call their primary care doctor or urgent
care before arriving in person to let them know you have
symptoms or have a confirmed exposure.

Butler County Health Officials said if a person feels they may
have contracted monkeypox, they should immediately take the
following steps:

Self-isolate.
Avoid sex or being intimate with anyone until you have been
checked out by a healthcare provider.
Avoid gatherings, especially if they involve close, personal,
skin-to-skin contact.
Think about the people you have had close, personal, or sexual
contact during the last 21 days, including people you met
through dating apps. To help stop the spread, you might be asked
to share this information if you have received a monkeypox
diagnosis.
Monkeypox Spread

Monkeypox can spread to anyone through close, personal, often
skin-to-skin contact, including:

Direct contact with monkeypox rash, scabs, or body fluids from a
person with monkeypox.

Touching objects, fabrics (clothing, bedding, or towels), and
surfaces that have been used by someone with monkeypox.

Contact with respiratory secretions.

This direct contact can happen during intimate contact,
including:

Oral, anal, and vaginal sex or touching the genitals (penis,
testicles, labia, and vagina) or anus of a person with monkeypox.

Hugging, massage, and kissing.

Prolonged face-to-face contact.

Touching fabrics and objects during sex that were used by a
person with monkeypox and that have not been disinfected, such
as bedding, towels, fetish gear, and sex toys.

A person who is pregnant can spread the virus to their fetus
through the placenta.

Monkeypox Prevention

� Avoid close, skin to skin contact with people who have a rash
that looks like monkeypox and/or avoid skin to skin contact with
people you do not know. A rash can be under clothing and not
obvious to see.

� Do not share eating utensils or cups with a person who has
monkeypox or people you do not know.

� Do not handle or touch bedding, towels, or clothing of a
person with monkeypox.

� Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-
based sanitizer.

� Wear a mask if traveling on public transportation, such as
long bus or plane rides, 3 hours or more, near people you do not
know (6 feet).

� If anyone with a new rash is concerned that it could be caused
by the Monkeypox Virus, or if anyone has had close contact with
a person with Monkeypox Virus, they should first contact their
own healthcare provider for clinical evaluation.

Vaccination

Due to the limited number of vaccines given to Ohio, at this
time the vaccine is only recommended for high-risk individuals.

People who are high-risk are those who have had skin-to-skin
contact or contact with contaminated material of a confirmed
case of monkeypox.

If you think you fall into that category, talk with your primary
care provider who will work with the local health department to
determine your risk level, eligibility, and administration of
the vaccine.

To register for a vaccine, visit www.cincinnati-oh.gov/health/
or hcph.org/monkeypox.

The Health Departments of Butler County are closely monitoring
Monkeypox trends in Ohio and the United States, and will
continue to communicate with their residents and partners.
