A King County infant has become infected with the monkeypox virus as the outbreak grows in Washington, prompting public health leaders to again remind medical providers of possible symptoms and call attention to the seriousness of the disease.
While the threat of infection to the general public remains low, the pediatric case serves as the latest reminder that while the current outbreak has spread primarily among men who have sex with men, anyone can become sick, state Secretary of Health Dr. Umair A. Shah said Thursday morning.
This week, Public Health – Seattle & King County said three of the county’s monkeypox patients identify as cisgender women, including one who might have been exposed through sex. A 17-year-old also tested positive for monkeypox earlier this month, according to the state Department of Health.
“This continues to be an outbreak we’re monitoring very closely,” Shah said. “We must continue to remember this is a contact-based virus. It is not limited to any community and while it is disproportionately affecting the LGBTQ+ community, anyone anywhere can be at risk.”
The King County infant is currently hospitalized, though they are stable and receiving treatment, according to King County’s public health department. The child was likely exposed to monkeypox through an infected family member and not through school, child care or another public setting, the department said.
Public health officials declined to share further information about the pediatric case for privacy reasons.

Hell of way to find out your significant other is on the “Down-Low”.
I thought this was just a pandemic of “men who have sex with men”?
It is. Except, some of those men have sex with women, and obviously animals and children.
If gays stayed in the gay lane, it would stay a gay disease.
three of the county’s monkeypox patients identify as cisgender women
Okay, I am not up on all the the new “genders” does this translate to three men who think they are women?
Why are so many taking Deep State’s word for what this is and how it spreads?
The word of the same people who’ve lied about everything CoupFlu.
Just curious.
Well the queers take it home…c’mon man…
They...
Personal singular pronoun for those who cannot bear to call themselves a she or he.
“identify as cisgender women”
This propaganda piece was meant to confuse. There are no men having sex with women being reported here. They’re garden variety homosexuals who dress like women.
Anal pox in dogs and children.
How Monkeypox is spread to children:
What the article is saying is: if you get rid of the LBGT community, you get rid of the virus.
“Hell of way to find out your significant other is on the ‘Down-Low’”.
No s**t. Also a hell of a way to learn your down-low spouse or boyfriend is sexually abusing your kids.
Act like a monkey and you get monkey fleas.
If only the poor child was infected in such an innocent way. But that is not how STDs are transmitted.
May the pervert burn in hell.
Women need to consider who they are having sex with and children should be checked to make sure they have not been molested.
The woman who “identifies as cis-gender” probably has a cuckold husband who is on the down-low.
It’s called Seattle.
“Cisgender,” means normal. Calling it, “normal,” however, would only highlight the deviance of other so-called sexual identities, so they had to rename, “normal,” so it appeared to be just one type of sexual attraction on a broad spectrum of other equally acceptable practices.
It’s called Seattle.
