Reports First Monkeypox Case as Europe’s Outbreak Grows
A Massachusetts man has tested positive
for monkeypox, a non-deadly disease that causes swelling and rashes and is
most common in West and Central Africa — although there have been outbreaks
elsewhere. The current outbreak was first identified in the U.K. and cases
have been confirmed in Portugal and Spain. Most of the new cases seem to be
among men who have sex with men, although Maria van Kerkhove of the World
Health Organization added that this could be because “we’re finding where
we’re looking.” Experts are worried monkeypox might have found a new way of
spreading via “intimate contact.” (Source: STAT) |
