A US citizen with monkeypox escaped from a hospital in a Mexican resort and fled the country, local health authorities said Wednesday.
The 48-year-old man, originally from Texas, fled the hospital in Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific coast last weekend despite having been told by medical staff that he should be tested for monkeypox and kept in isolation, the state health department said in a statement.
When he arrived at the hospital, the patient had symptoms of "cough, chills, muscle pain and pustule-like lesions on his face, neck and trunk," the agency said.
After fleeing the medical facility, the Texan then went to the hotel where he was staying with his partner and caught a flight out of Puerto Vallarta on June 4, before authorities were able to locate him.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed to Mexican authorities on Monday that the patient had returned to the United States where a test confirmed he had monkeypox.
Prior to arriving in Puerto Vallarta on May 27, the individual was in Berlin, Germany, between May 12 and 16, and subsequently in Dallas, Texas.

We try to refrain from using that kind of language here.
(not disagreeing with you, though)
Track him down and shoot him.
Three Marines I knew were involved in a serious traffic accident in Mexico, sewn up bandaged, and kept overnight in the local hospital.
Returned to post and reported to sick call.
Two of them had uncorrected internal damage and had to be opened up CLEANED and repaired; for four days inpatient.
I don’t think they kept the third one overnight.
In Mexico, they were good to go and released.
Berlin, Mexico, Texas....... Gee, these ass-bandits sure do get around.
And got on a plane and was intentionally choosing to be around gazzillions of people. What a sh*t head.
Yeah....sounds like we’re not sending our finest, to Meheeco....or, Germany.
That’s why we don’t travel to/vacay in Meheeco.
Know of several who’ve had to have HORRID emergency medical treatments, there. (All different types of emergencies....randing from appendicitis to a sinus rupture....different ages....different decades.)
You never know when a medical emergency may hit....and, Mexico is one of the last places we’d want to be, if so.
“Partner”
Berlin, Germany May 12 - 16
Dallas, Texas
Now let’s not jump to conclusions here.
At least he could have made his way to the border and walked across the Rio Grande. There are no health checks there.
Teo of the gayest cities outside of San Fransicko.
You’re right, but the article said he flew home. The China virus tests are not required if you cross the border by car, train, or on foot, just by air.
Mexican hospitals are probably not well stocked on testing kits for diseases that are only native to Africa...
Because you cannot ask if the Pope is Catholic anymore
“Partner”
Another example of our ALLOWING the left to change the language, in this case for their SICK purposes of “normalizing” homosexuality.
“Partner” (relating to couples) started out meaning SEX partners.
Homos/leftists dropped the “sex” word and went with partner. Next, hating heterosexual marriage, they used the term partner for ALL unmarried couples.
So NOW the term “partner” is accepted as asexual.
And many hetero lemmings have willingly gone along and are using the term “partner”. “Common law” relegated to the dustbin of history.
Apparently “pustule-like lesions” still means the same thing.
That’s why we don’t travel to/vacay in Meheeco.!”
After our sons finished college or trade school, we would buy an extra weeks of a Mexican timeshare at Thanksgiving, the week after Christmas and during a spring break.
We took Bactrim before, during and after our trips. We were treated very well.
Then, we started seeing really young Mexican guys with military rifles at the airports, hotels, and just walking around in a daze with their military rifles.
Our last trip was a wake up call. The young men with guns were everywhere and seemed very tense. One of our stops had the trips ashore cancelled. It was freezing in Mexico and people were in masses trying to buy blankets from a Walmart just off the pier.
Then, the ship went to Cabo and opted to go whale watching. We went into an enclosed walkway from the dock to walk to where the whale watching boat was. It was scary with hordes natives outside the enclosed walkway begging for money.
The whale watching was great for an hour or so, and the CO of the whale watching boat got a radio message to meet our ship ASAP at sea and not the normal dock/wharf.
That was interesting, after we were safely on the ship, I asked to see the Captain as the ship was all ahead flank heading north back to the states. I was escorted to the bridge and the Captain handed me a message from our state depart/embassy in Mexico advising all ships to leave the Mexican waters. The ship’s radar looked we were in the middle of an armada heading north.
There was no room for our ship at San Diego, and it pulled into the LA port for that night and left for SF the next morning for an uneventful trip home.
When, we arrived in SF and were headed home.
My wife asked me if our aborted trip reminded me of when on active duty our Navy Ship was in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic. Our ship was on a liberty pleasure trip after weeks in Gitmo.
We got a flash warning to get all sailors back on the ship and get back to Gitmo. An ensign and a chief missed the ship, and the good Dominican Republic Coasties brought them out to sea and we got them back on the ship.
THAT is a very scary trip.
Sorry you had to go through all of that...but, glad you got the ‘wake up call’ to stay away, and, to stay safe.
Amazing how that harrowing trip compared to your Navy excursion.
Thank you for your service.
