Jakarta, Spasi-id.com - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States are listed as 47,652 cases of monkey pox globally over August 26, 2022.
Dr. Jeffri Aloys Gunawan, Sp.PD, or so known as Dr. Jeff, explains that monkey pox is more likely to attack people with risk.
In general, there are four types of people exposed to monkey pox, which are pregnant mothers, less than eight-year-old children, people exposed to animals, such as zookeepers, or immunes or weak immunity.
"This weakened immunity consists of immunity called innate and adaptive. These innate examples are immune to macrophages and other macrophages. Whereas adaptive immunity is an immunity associated with B cell lymphocytes and T cells the weakness of immunity or this immunity causes monkeypox virus so easily entered the body of a diabetic so it's more likely that infection and manifested into a symptom,
In addition, Jeff also described immune disorders like autoimmune diseases, especially diabetes, at risk of having severe infection when exposed to monkey pox due to hyperglycemia or excess blood sugar which caused immune response dysfunction against the germ, including monkey pox.
That's what causes diabetes. It's usually at the risk of experiencing heavier symptoms.
"Indeed, in diabetes, there was a change in the immune cells called cell- mediated immunity and the second of antibodies or antibody- mediated immunity. The change that happens is a decline in both. For this cell- mediated usually that decreases is the function of the macrophag cell, where the cell has to kill the virus that comes in, including this monkey pox virus," it adds.
Although diabetics were exposed to monkey pox, hope was cured and recovered.
But what's important to worry about is that when you go through recovery, you have to make an effort to stabilize the blood sugar levels due to a high level of high sugar uncontrolled immune immunity.
So that by controlling the blood sugar levels, the immune will be healing as well and not easily infected.
"It's also necessary to see whether these diabetes people have had complications in other organs, which, if there are complications or combatants, can cause diabetes to be harder and longer to recover than usual. This is due to a dysfunction in internal organs as collateral peace. The effect of this damage is causing a longer recovery," Jeff said.
When diabetics are exposed to monkey pox, the treatment is carried out with patients without diabetes.
Only, in diabetes, it must also be simultaneously and immediately attempt to control the blood sugar.
It's an important attempt to avoid a spike in the number of cells that are vulnerable to further damage from the infection of monkey pox.
"Monkey pox in diabetics is handled simultaneously by giving antivirus and insulin to reduce high blood sugar levels. This high blood sugar should quickly overcome to prevent any complications to other organs," the paparazzi.
