Symptoms of Monkeypox in Malaysia

It is important to distinguish this severe disease from other rash illnesses, such as chickenpox, measles, bacterial skin infections, scabies, and syphilis by looking at monkeypox symptoms. In humans, the symptoms of monkeypox are similar to but milder than smallpox. The illness begins with:

• Fever
• Fatigue / tiredness
• Headache
• Muscle aches
• Back pain
• Joint pain
• Swollen lymph nodes

A rash typically develops within 1 to 5 days after initial monkeypox symptoms. It begins on the face before spreading to other areas of the body which includes the mouth, genitalia, and anus. The rash may be painful or itchy.

The incubation period (time from exposure to the initial presentation of symptoms) for monkeypox is usually 6 to 13 days but can range from 5 to 21 days. In most cases, the symptoms subside within 2 to 4 weeks.
