Mercredi, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, le directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l’Organisation mondiale de la sant\u00e9, a convoqu\u00e9 une r\u00e9union \u00ab d’urgence \u00bb d’experts internationaux alors que les cas du variant le plus dangereux du virus Mpox se multiplient dans les pays africains.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les rapports sugg\u00e8rent que ce variant est hautement infectieux, ce qui lui permet de se propager rapidement entre les individus, ce qui suscite de vives inqui\u00e9tudes chez les experts de l’OMS.<\/p>\n

S’exprimant lors d’une conf\u00e9rence de presse \u00e0 Gen\u00e8ve mercredi, le directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l’OMS, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu’un expert d\u00e9terminera si l’\u00e9pid\u00e9mie doit \u00eatre consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme une urgence mondiale.<\/p>\n

Tedros a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que l’OMS a d\u00e9bours\u00e9 1 million de dollars de son fonds d’urgence pour aider \u00e0 faire face \u00e0 l’\u00e9pid\u00e9mie de mpox.<\/p>\n

Les Centres africains de contr\u00f4le et de pr\u00e9vention des maladies ont annonc\u00e9 la semaine derni\u00e8re que le mpox, ou variole du singe, a \u00e9t\u00e9 identifi\u00e9 dans 10 pays africains cette ann\u00e9e, la RDC repr\u00e9sentant plus de 96 % de tous les cas et d\u00e9c\u00e8s.<\/p>\n

Selon le CDC Afrique, pr\u00e8s de 70 % des cas au Congo concernent des enfants de 15 ans et moins, et ces enfants repr\u00e9sentent 85 % des d\u00e9c\u00e8s.<\/p>\n

Des cas de variole ont \u00e9t\u00e9 signal\u00e9s pour la premi\u00e8re fois la semaine derni\u00e8re au Burundi et au Rwanda, et d’autres cas ont \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 identifi\u00e9s au Kenya et en R\u00e9publique centrafricaine.<\/p>\n

Des scientifiques ont signal\u00e9 plus t\u00f4t cette ann\u00e9e l’apparition d’une nouvelle variante plus mortelle de la variole dans une ville mini\u00e8re du Congo, qui peut \u00eatre mortelle pour jusqu’\u00e0 10 % des personnes infect\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

On craint que cette variante ne se propage plus facilement entre les personnes.<\/p>\n

La variole se transmet par contact \u00e9troit avec les personnes infect\u00e9es, y compris lors de relations sexuelles.<\/p>\n

En 2022, l’Organisation mondiale de la sant\u00e9 a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que la variole congolaise \u00e9tait une urgence mondiale en raison de sa propagation dans plus de 70 pays, touchant principalement les hommes homosexuels et bisexuels.<\/p>\n

La propagation de la variole congolaise a \u00e9t\u00e9 largement contr\u00f4l\u00e9e dans les pays occidentaux gr\u00e2ce aux vaccins et aux traitements, mais ces options restent rares en Afrique.<\/p>\n

Maria Van Kerkhove, qui supervise le d\u00e9partement des \u00e9pid\u00e9mies de l’OMS, a soulign\u00e9 plusieurs aspects pr\u00e9occupants de la crise du mpox en Afrique et a appel\u00e9 \u00e0 une r\u00e9ponse rapide.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Nous ne devons pas permettre au monde de se contenter d’observer et de retarder \u00bb, a-t-elle soulign\u00e9. \u00ab Il est temps d’agir. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
