August 27, 2022, 10:23 AMDr. Danielle Zerr, medical director of infection prevention at Seattle Children's Hospital, speaks to ABC News on Aug. 26. 2022 about a child getting monkeypox.since the outbreak began, this past spring, only a handful of pediatric monkeypox cases have been identified across the U.S.
The child has been hospitalized and receiving treatment for the virus in recent days after being exposed to monkeypox through an infected family member, officials said. The child did not become infected in a school, child care, or other public setting. A colorized transmission electron micrograph shows monkeypox particles found within an infected cell , cultured in the laboratory that was captured and color-enhanced at the NIAID Integrated Research Facility in Fort Detrick, Md.A concerning rash prompted the parents to initially seek care for the infant, she said.
In addition to "supportive care" to ensure the patient is hydrated and well-cared for, the hospital has been treating the young patient with TPOXX, a Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for smallpox, that has been made available for children under special expanded access protocols.
Earlier this month, in an effort to protect the youngest Americans, the FDA issued an emergency use authorization that allows children under 18 who are at high risk of monkeypox to be vaccinated.In July, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned in a health alert that there is some preliminary evidence to suggest children younger than 8 years old could develop more severe illness, if infected with monkeypox.
Should a child be exposed to monkeypox, Zerr advised that parents stay in contact with their child's pediatrician and be on the lookout for any suspicious rashes."If you know your child's been exposed to a confirmed case of monkey pox, then you do really want to be keeping a very close eye on them," Zerr said. "I think that that would be a reasonable strategy to keep your kid at home if they develop new signs and symptoms of illness.
