Federal health officials released new details Friday on the monkeypox outbreak, which has risen to at least 23 cases in the U.S. and hundreds around the world.
The CDC's finding comes as both the domestic and global tally of monkeypox cases has climbed sharply over the past few weeks, amid a push from health authorities to find and test potential cases of the at-times painful rash and lesions.
A total of at least 23 cases have been tallied so far by health authorities across the U.S., including one case in a Florida resident who was tested in the United Kingdom. California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and Washington state have reported at least one case.
"The rash caused by monkeypox virus can spread widely across the body or present in sensitive areas like the genitalia. It can be really painful and some patients have reported needing prescription pain medicine to manage that pain. The sores can also cause long term scarring on the skin," said McQuiston. warnings for travelers to take precautions to avoid catching monkeypox, including to wear a mask and avoid contact with things like wild game meat and contaminated clothing.
Some at-risk providers who came into contact with the hospitalized person were later offered vaccine, in hopes of heading off potential infections. "We continue to have more than enough vaccine available. We do have them pre-positioned in several sites around the country," Dawn O'Connell, assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the Department of Health and Human Services, told reporters.
