About our Monkeypox news

Latest news about Monkeypox, a rare viral infection that is similar to human smallpox. The virus is found in monkeys, apes, and rodents in Africa. It is usually spread to humans through contact with the animals. Symptoms include fever, rash, and lymph node swelling. Monkeypox is not as deadly as smallpox, but it can still be serious. There is no specific treatment for the virus, but people who are infected can be treated for the symptoms.

After several cases were detected in England, Dr Susan Hopkins, Chief Medical Adviser, UKHSA, said: 'This is rare and unusual. UKHSA is rapidly investigating the source of these infections because the evidence suggests that there may be transmission of the monkeypox virus in the community, spread by close contact'.
