This COCA Call will be held on Friday, March 27, 2020

Overview

This COCA Call supports and expands on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory released on September 29, 2022, about people experiencing severe manifestations of monkeypox and medical countermeasures available to treat people who have monkeypox.

The HAN Health Advisory informs healthcare providers that

  1. Severe manifestations of monkeypox have been observed in the United States in the current outbreak.
  2. People who are immunocompromised due to HIV or other conditions are at higher risk for severe manifestations of monkeypox than people who are immunocompetent.
  3. Because people with HIV-associated immunocompromise are at risk for severe manifestations of monkeypox, the HIV status of all sexually active adults and adolescents with suspected or confirmed monkeypox should be determined.
  4. There are diagnostic and clinical management strategies that may help address severe manifestations of monkeypox.

During this COCA Call, presenters from CDC, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, and Emory University will share an update about people with monkeypox who have severe manifestations of the disease. Presenters will also describe the clinical courses of two patients with monkeypox, review interventions to prevent and treat monkeypox with antiviral therapy, discuss updated information about the risk of monkeypox transmission, and provide new guidance on  selecting a site on the body when administering the vaccine intradermally.
