Spread of Mpox under control

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: In the fourth week of September, a man in his early 30s, accompanied by his wife, came to the outpatient department of the general medicine department at Rajagiri Hospital, Ernakulam. This, combined with the patient’s unusual symptoms and travel history, pointed to a possible case of mpox, a viral infection that had recently been reported in the region. The hospital had been on high alert after a confirmed case of mpox emerged in Malappuram just a week prior. The hospital’s epidemiology team had briefed doctors on global communicable diseases, and this knowledge helped them recognise the signs of the virus early.
