The United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday said that a rare case of human monkeypox was detected in Texas, making it the first case of the virus seen in the state.
The viral illness was found in a U.S. resident who recently travelled from Nigeria to the US and is currently hospitalised in Dallas.“While rare, this case is not a reason for alarm and we do not expect any threat to the general public,” Dallas County Judge, Clay Jenkins, said. Other than Nigeria, outbreaks have also been reported in Central and West African countries since 1970, with a large outbreak in people in the US in 2003, according to the CDC.
Monkeypox, which belongs to the same family of viruses as smallpox, is a rare but potentially serious viral illness. It typically begins with flu-like symptoms and swelling of the lymph nodes and gradually develops to widespread rashes on the face and body.
