Mpox is an acute rash disease caused by a virus, with Clade 1 cases reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, the Republic of the Congo, and the Central African Republic. These cases may be more severe and more infectious than those of the Mpox virus that caused the global outbreak in 2022. The incubation period ranges from 5 to 21 days, and the fatality rate is reported to be from a few percent to 10%. Sweden and Thailand have also confirmed cases.
