The United States’ first known case of a more severe strain of mpox was confirmed in California, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Saturday. The risk of clade I mpox to the public remains low, the agency said.
The person diagnosed with clade I mpox had recently traveled from Eastern Africa, where an mpox outbreak is ongoing. The person was treated at a local medical facility and released, the CDC said. The person has been isolating at home and their symptoms are improving. The state and CDC are working to identify and follow up with potential contacts.
Clade II mpox has been circulating in the United States since a large outbreak in 2022 and 2023. A more recent outbreak in Africa is driven by clade I, which is known to cause more severe disease.
The subtype that’s responsible for most of the ongoing spread, clade Ib, is relatively new. Travel-related cases of mpox clade Ib have been reported in Germany, India, Kenya, Sweden, Thailand, Zimbabwe, and the United Kingdom. Some countries outside of Africa have also reported locally transmitted cases.
“The recent travel-associated clade I mpox cases outside of Africa have all been attributed to subclade Ib; there have been no deaths associated with these cases and available data for a subset has detailed relatively mild disease courses,” the CDC said Saturday.
“Historically, clade I mpox has caused more severe illness and deaths than clade II mpox; however, recent data demonstrate that infections from clade I mpox in the current outbreak may not be as clinically severe as in previous outbreaks.

The case is in Cauliphonya so it’s going to spread like a California wildfire. Good luck Calis. I know you’re going to be able to handle this. It’s only one rare case that accompanied an African miggy from Africa. It’s not “Widespread” the way DemonRAT voter fraud is.
You know they want to. The b——ards.
Hey “spreaders” thanks for the extra disease burden...we just love to cater to, and promote, your unhealthy, disease acquiring habits./s
“The United States’ first known case of a more severe strain of mpox was confirmed in California”. How did those things contract it? Sex with monkeys?
If we were to be smart, we’d just sit back and smile.
yes, super deadly highly communicable disease and the cdc, health dep’s etc allow a ‘treated and released’ supposed sick victim. Oh yeah, believable.

Hmmmmm....
Don’t be a monkey, don’t throw poo, don’t push in poo!
An absolute mystery. In other news, does anyone else remember another time when the CDC told people to sanitize their sex toys to prevent a disease?
Diana in Wisconsin :" "The CDC says people can protect themselves from mpox by avoiding contact with people with symptoms and contaminated materials
such as clothing, bedding, sex toys and toothbrushes.
People who are eligible are recommended to get two doses of mpox vaccine."
