It was learned that a Los Angeles County resident, whose immune system was severely weakened, had died.
A man with monkeypox died last month in Harris County, Texas, but the role of the virus in that death has not been confirmed.
As of September 12, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 21,985 cases in the country. Most infected in California – 4300.
Nearly 58,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported worldwide and 18 confirmed deaths, not including the US.
It is emphasized that mortality from monkeypox is extremely rare. The virus usually infects people with weakened immune systems.
Recall that in early August, the monkeypox outbreak in the United States was declared a public health emergency.
Monkeypox is a rare infectious disease most prevalent in remote areas of Central and West Africa. Its symptoms are nausea, fever, rash, itching, and muscle pain.
