The

human mpox caused by Clade II of the
monkeypox virus . The first case in the Republic was confirmed on 27 May 2022.

Background
These paragraphs are an excerpt from
Mpox .
Transmission
Stages of lesion development.
A large portion of those infected were believed to have not recently traveled to areas of Africa where mpox is normally found, such as
Nigeria , the
Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as
central and
western Africa . It is believed to be transmitted by close contact with sick people, with extra caution for those individuals with
lesions on their skin or genitals, along with their bedding and clothing. The
CDC has also stated that individuals should avoid contact and consumption of dead animals such as rats, squirrels, monkeys and apes along with wild game or lotions derived from animals in Africa.
[8]
In addition to more common symptoms, such as fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, and rashes or lesions, some patients have also experienced
proctitis , an inflammation of the rectum lining. CDC has also warned clinicians to not rule out mpox in patients with sexually transmitted infections since there have been reports of co-infections with
syphilis ,
gonorrhea ,
chlamydia , and
herpes .
