• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? Monkeypox is a rare, potentially serious zoonotic infection. During September 2018-June 2021, six cases among travelers from Nigeria to non-African countries were identified; two instances resulted in secondary cases. What is added by this report? In July 2021, Monkeypox virus was confirmed in a U.S. resident who had returned from Nigeria. The public health investigation included identifying and monitoring exposed persons and disinfecting potentially contaminated surfaces. No secondary cases occurred. What are the implications for public health practice? Continued Monkeypox virus transmission in Nigeria might lead to additional sporadic U.S. importations. Early clinical suspicion, prompt reporting to public health authorities, and awareness of the types of exposures that might be high risk are among the lessons learned. [Description provided by NIOSH]
